Larry's home has coordinates L(75,30). Moe's home has coordinates M(42,-58. Curley's home has coordinates (-54, 18). Does Moe live closer to Larry or Curley?
larry = L
Moe = M
Curley = C
find d(L,M)
d(M,C)
d(L,c)

d(L,M)
Distance between two points
x1 y1 x2 y2

75 30 42 -58

d(M,C)
Distance between two points
x1 y1 x2 y2

-54 18 42 -58
