use Pythagorean Theorem instead

The video tutorial explains how to use the Pythagorean theorem to find the distance between two points. It emphasizes the importance of plotting points for better understanding and demonstrates how to calculate horizontal and vertical distances using the X and Y axes. The tutorial then applies the Pythagorean theorem to find the diagonal distance, highlighting the need to square values to ensure positive distances. Finally, it concludes with the importance of taking the square root to find the actual distance.
