Distance Formula in 2D and 3D and Their Proofs

in DTube11 months ago (edited)


In this video I prove the distance formula between 2 points in both two and three dimensions. The distance formula in 2D is readily derived using the Pythagorean theorem. In 3D we can extend the 2D distance formula by drawing a box and then applying the Pythagorean Theorem twice. Both distance formulas appear identical but with the 3D formula having the term in the z-axis. I also go over a quick example on calculating the distance between 2 points in 3D space.
