Hi my name is Gabi and I'm trying to do this problem A(0,0),B(8,6) it says that I need to use the Pythagorean theorem to find the distance between each pair of points and I don't really know how to use it.
-----
If you have two points (a,b) and (c,d)
the distance between them is
D = sqrt[(a-c)^2 + (b-d)^2]
------------------------------
Your Problem::
D = sqrt[(8-0)^2 + (6-0)]^2
----
D = sqrt[64+36] = sqrt(100) = 10
