Distance Formula
Formula
Calculates the straight-line distance between two points (x₁, y₁) and (x₂, y₂) on a coordinate plane.
When to Use
Finding lengths of segments, proving shapes are congruent, or determining distances in coordinate geometry problems.
💡 Example
Distance from (0,0) to (3,4): d = √[(3-0)² + (4-0)²] = √[9+16] = √25 = 5
