Introduction to Distance Formula in Coordinate Geometry

The video tutorial introduces coordinate geometry, focusing on the distance formula. It begins with an example involving towns A, B, and C, using Pythagoras theorem to find the direct distance between towns. The tutorial then derives the distance formula using coordinates, explaining how it is applied when coordinates are known. An example is provided to demonstrate the application of the formula. The session concludes with a recap, emphasizing the relationship between the distance formula and Pythagoras theorem.

How can the distance formula be derived from the Pythagorean theorem?

What are the coordinates of towns A and B used in the example, and how are they applied in the distance formula?

Discuss the difference between using absolute distances and coordinates in calculating distances.
