In the formula d = StartRoot (x 2 minus x 1) squared + (y 2 minus y 1) squared EndRoot, how does each subtraction expression relate to the Pythagorean theorem? Each subtraction expression represents the length of one leg of a right triangle with a hypotenuse of length d. Each subtraction expression represents the length of the hypotenuse of a right triangle with a leg of length d. Each subtraction expression represents half the length of the hypotenuse of a right triangle with a hypotenuse of length d. Each subtraction expression represents the square of the length of the hypotenuse of a right triangle with a hypotenuse of length d.

Each subtraction expression represents the length of one leg of a right triangle with a hypotenuse of length

Step-by-step explanation:

Each subtraction expression x2 - x1 or y2 - y1 represents the length of a side of a right angled triangle. These length of sides are then used to calculate the resulting hypotenuse side using the Pythagorean theorem. In this case, the resulting hypotenuse is the length calculated.
