1) The Pythagorean theorem can be used to find the distance between any two points P and Q on the coordinate plane. 2) A right triangle can be drawn with side PQ as the hypotenuse to represent the distance between the two points. 3) The distances between the points and the x- and y-axes are used as the legs of the right triangle, allowing the Pythagorean theorem to calculate the distance between the points.
