Thread: Geometric Proofs

I am having with this problem of many. Hopefully, once I get this I can answer the rest.

If I have two points, (-2, -3) and (-4, 4) then the distance between them is sqrt(53)

What geometric proof defines this?

disregard. DF.

Plot the points .
Draw that triangle.You will have a nice right triangle.
The length of hypotenuse is the distance we want.
The two legs have lengths 7 & 2.
