In the formula d=/(x2-x1)^2+(y2-y1)^2 , how does each subtraction expression relate to the pythagorean theorem?

A

Step-by-step explanation:

I don't think you need this

option A

Step-by-stevvp explanation:

In the formula

The formula is used to find the distance between two points

(x2-x1) gives the length of one leg

(y2-y1) gives the length of another leg

In a right angle triangle , Pythagorean theorem is

where a and b represents the sides of the triangle

Each subtraction expression in the formula represents the leg of the right angle triangle with the hypotenuse of length d
