Yeah, it uses the distance formula (point-to-point), which is really just the Pythagorean theorem. Good on you for recognizing it Agent. 8-)

The Pythagorean theorem is going to play a big role in Lesson 11, so if you're already familiar it will be that much easier.

Yea I studied Mechanical Engineering for 4 years so my math skills are pretty solid, spelling on the other hand has always evaded me, "Pythagorean" :? ...programming on the other hand was only lightly brushed over in college, trying to get my brain to transfer b/w math eq. and code hasn't ever come to easy.
