Im not sure, and it doesnt say..

Answer 3

Well that's why you have google. Look it up and tell me

Answer 4

@foreverandalways The distance formula is:
\[d=\sqrt{(x _{2}-x _{1})+(y _{2}-y _{1})}\]

That leaves you to 13 as the final answer. :)

Answer 5

d=\[d=\sqrt{x2-x1}^2+(yx-y1)^2\]

Answer 6

thankyou very much! (:

Answer 7

Before I forget, there's a "squared" outside the parenthesis. =) I forgot to place it.
