The distance between the points (34,2) and (-6,-16) It can be found with the Pythagorean theorem applied in two dimensions. That is:
[tex]d\text{ = }\sqrt[]{(X_{2\text{ }}-X_1)\text{ + (Y}_{2\text{ }}-_{}Y_1\text{) }}[/tex]Where (X1, Y1) and (X2,Y2 ) are points on the segment. In our case we have that:
