Is it 10?

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

hmm... what are your points though?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sqrt(-2-4)^2+(-3-5)^2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

5 is where I messed up right? It would be positive which one make the answer 2sqrt10?

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

that is.. using vector "u"

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

actually.. they aren't labeled =).. anyhow the one on the left

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I see where I messed up! Let me see if I can get the 2nd part right! haha

OpenStudy (anonymous):
