Distance on a Coordinate Plane Project

You will be able to show how you use the Pythagorean Theorem and the Distance Formula to find the distance between two points on the coordinate plane. You will be able to show proof of how the Pythagorean Theorem and the Distance Formula are equivalent expressions using your knowledge of how to solve equations.
