True/False

In a professional mapping application, the Distance Formula d=(x2−x1)2+(y2−y1)2d = \sqrt{(x_2 - x_1)^2 + (y_2 - y_1)^2} is used to find the shortest path between two points. True or False: This formula works by treating the straight-line distance as the hypotenuse of a right triangle formed by the horizontal and vertical changes between those points.
