To find the length between two points using the Pythagorean Theorem, we need the coordinates of both points. The Pythagorean Theorem states that in a right triangle, the square of the hypotenuse (c) is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides (a and b):
\[ c^2 = a^2 + b^2 \]
Assuming the two points are given as \( (x_1, y_1) \) and \( (x_2, y_2) \), the distance (d) between those points can be calculated using the distance formula derived from the Pythagorean theorem:
\[ d = \sqrt{(x_2 - x_1)^2 + (y_2 - y_1)^2} \]
Please provide the coordinates of the two points so I can help calculate the distance.
