Distance Formula (Proof) - Geometry

This video will cover a proof of the distance formula. More specifically, this video outlines how the distance formula is a rerarrangement of the Pythagorean Theorem on the Cartesian Plane.

This video is appropriate for a student taking a course in Geometry. Students preparing for the NY Geometry Regents or some other Geometry standardized state test should find this video helpful.

Your feedback and requests are encouraged and appreciated! Thank you all for watching!

I was taught the formula in my course, but wasn't taught why it worked, so I would always forget it. Thanks for this video, it's just what I needed to completely understand the idea of the distance formula and why it works.

this is a lot easier to understand than those on the books.. thank you for the video ^_^

You're welcome! Thank you for watching! The Pythagorean Theorem is arguably one of the most relevant theorems in all of math.

Thanks a lot! The book got me confused

[lineloregaming]

How do I solve for coordinates if the distance is already given?

[abuanzehhyasat]

What if it was rotated upon y axis would the formula change?

How do you apply the distance formula in proving some geometric properries?
Please help me i'm from india

I agree, though so far, I have only read about a few theorems so I can't really say too much about that :P.
