The distance formula calculates the straight-line (Euclidean) distance between two points in a 2D coordinate plane. It is derived directly from the Pythagorean theorem — the distance is the hypotenuse of a right triangle formed by the horizontal and vertical differences.

Pro Tip
Check for Pythagorean triples first. If Δx and Δy are 3 and 4, the answer is exactly 5 — no calculator needed.
