Distance Calculation Using Right Triangles

The video tutorial explains how to find the distance between two points using the Pythagorean theorem. It starts by plotting the points and creating a right triangle with the distance as the hypotenuse. The Pythagorean theorem is applied to calculate the distance, and an alternative method using a Pythagorean triplet is also discussed. The tutorial concludes with a detailed explanation of the solution.
