Finding Distance with Pythagorean Theorem

The video tutorial explains how to solve a standardized math test question using the Pythagorean theorem. It involves finding the distance between two cities, Oden and Lundy, on a coordinate grid by forming a right triangle. The tutorial guides through identifying the triangle's sides, calculating the hypotenuse, and solving for the distance, which is found to be 10 miles.
