Distance Formula

The video tutorial explains the concept of distance in both everyday contexts and on a coordinate plane. It introduces the use of Pythagoras' theorem to calculate the distance between two points on a graph, initially using specific examples. The tutorial then generalizes this approach to derive the distance formula, which can be applied to any two points on a plane. The video concludes by verifying the formula with examples, demonstrating its practical application.
