real world examples of the distance formula?

Question

myininaya · Answer

did you know the distance formula can be applied to curves by taking infinitely many line segments

anonymous · Answer

no i did not. thanks for the tip! :]

myininaya · Answer

:)

myininaya · Answer

well you have to sum up each of those infinitely many line segments that you took on that curve to find the length of that curve
and if you take calculus you will find an easier method involving integration :)
TAKE CALCULUS!
it is so fun!

anonymous · Answer

truthfully, i don't even know what the distance formula is.

anonymous · Answer

hahah i wish i had your brain. math kills me

myininaya · Answer

u don't want my brain
i lost my memory 
and 
people drive me insane
not you lol

myininaya · Answer

well i didn't lose my memory
i just cant remember well

anonymous · Answer

ya

myininaya · Answer

i have remember some fundamental stuff but everything else i have to derive over and over again because i cannot keep any new information in my head

anonymous · Answer

ooo

anonymous · Answer

well math doesn't seem like a problem for you

myininaya · Answer

lol 
its fun
in algebra you use the distance formula to find a length of a line segment 
d=sqrt( (x1-x2)^2+(y1-y2)^2))
I can derive this formula for you later but i'm about to go to bed 
peace and have fun
let math be a fun experiment
