Abstract
Using generalized cosine and sine , a new method for calculating the distance between two points in a plane coordinate system and a polar coordinate system is given. The new method shows that using the Pythagorean theorem to calculate the distance between two points in a Cartesian coordinate system is the most troublesome! This almost overturns people's cognition !

Keywords
affine coordinate system, Cartesian coordinate system, polar coordinate system,generalized cosine,generalized sine
