-100 @Mertsj

Answer 17

From 11 to 7 is 4 units.
(-10)^2=100
4^2=16
100+16=116
sqrt116=10.8 and that is the length of PT.

@Mertsj

Answer 29

This is what I am saying: This problem is a simple matter of applying the distance formula 4 times and adding up all the answers + 7. It should be able to be done easily in 10 minutes even if one does not know the distance formula it can easily be taught. We have been messing around with it for nearly a hour and I am done with it now.

Answer 30
