Is finding the distance between two points in the rectangular coordinate system related to the Pythagorean theorem? Why or why not? Provide an example in your answer.

Answer:

Yes it is related

Explanation:

Consider 2 points in a rectangular co-ordinate system

[tex](x_{1},y_{1}),(x_{2},y_{2})[/tex]

The distance between them can be found by

d = [tex]\sqrt{(x_{1}-x_{2})^{2}-(y_{2}-y_{1})^{^{2}}}[/tex]

This is clear from the figure attached below
