Distance in the Coordinate Plane (Quick Discovery)

The following applet was designed to help students to conceptually discover how to calculate the distance between any two points in the coordinate plane. [color=#c51414][b]No x-sub-2's or y-sub-1's...or...etc.... are needed![/color] [b]Students who work with this applet will discover that calculating the distance between any 2 points in the coordinate plane is a simple application of the Pythagorean Theorem!
