## How to Calculate Distance Between Two Points
### Formula
**d = √((x₂ - x₁)² + (y₂ - y₁)²)**
This is derived from the Pythagorean theorem. The horizontal and vertical distances form the legs of a right triangle, and the distance between the points is the hypotenuse.

Exemple Résolu
Find the distance between points (1, 2) and (4, 6).
- Δx = 4 - 1 = 3
- Δy = 6 - 2 = 4
- d = √(3² + 4²) = √(9 + 16) = √25 = 5
