This example demonstrates how to use the distance formula to calculate the length of a line segment. Key mathematical concepts include the distance formula, Pythagoras' theorem, and right triangles. By constructing line segment AB using the Segment command and points A and B, the distance formula can be visually understood. Suitable for middle school and above students for geometric construction.
