Finding Distance Using Pythagorean Theorem

The Pythagorean Theorem works to find distance between any two points because:

• It works on any triangle.

• All slope triangles are right triangles

• It doesn't work. I should just guess.

• I don't need the Pythagorean Theorem because I can count the spaces.
