In summary, finding the distance between two points is a fundamental concept in mathematics and is used in a wide range of real-world applications, including navigation, surveying, construction, physics and engineering, and statistics. Having practice problems on this topic helps students to practice and reinforce the knowledge of this concept and apply it to real-world situations. 

 

Additionally, distance formulas are used in physics and engineering to calculate the distance between two points in space, velocity, and time, as well as in statistics to calculate the...
