The question said how do i feel about the distance formular.

First let's know what the distance formular is all about.

The distance formular is an algebraic expression that gives the distnces between pairs of points in terms of their coordinates.

In two and three dimensional Euclidean space, the distance formular for points in rectangular coordinates are based on the Pythagorean theorem. The distance between the points (a, b) and (c, d) is given by;

√(a - c)² + (b - d)².

In three dimensional space, the distance between the points (a, b, c) and (d, e, f) is

√(a - d)² + (b - e)² + (c - f)².

From the explanation and definition about the distance formular above, what i feel is that it enables getting points and distances within a plane possible and easy.
