A pizza restaurant is offering a free slice of pizza to anyone who lives 1km of the restaurant. Ferd lives 500m north and 850m west of the restaurant. Will he be eligible for a free slice?
-------
Plot the restaurant at (0,0)
Ferd lives at (-850,500)
-----
Distance from (0,0) = sqrt[850^2+500^2] = 986.15 meters
----
He's eligible.
