In a 2D coordinate plane, the distance between two points (x₁, y₁) and (x₂, y₂) is given by √[(x₂ – x₁)² + (y₂ – y₁)²]. For instance, the distance between (2, 3) and (6, 7) is √[(6 – 2)² + (7 – 3)²] = √(4² + 4²) = √32 = 4√2. Derived from the Pythagorean Theorem, the distance formula is pivotal in map reading, robotics pathfinding, or designing game environments. Familiarity with it ensures you can measure and compare positional relationships quickly and accurately in a variety of analytical tasks.
