Use the general formula which is based on
\n" ); document.write( "the pythagorean theorem:
\n" ); document.write( "-----------------------
\n" ); document.write( "If the given points are:
\n" ); document.write( "( x1, y1 ) and ( x2, y2 )
\n" ); document.write( "then
\n" ); document.write( "Distance between the points =
\n" ); document.write( "square root of [ ( x2 - x1 )^2 + ( y2 - y1 )^2 ]
\n" ); document.write( "---------------------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "For your problem:
\n" ); document.write( "( x1, y1 ) = ( 2,-4 )
\n" ); document.write( "( x2, y2 ) = ( -3,5 )
\n" ); document.write( "Distance = \"+sqrt%28+%28+-3+-2+%29%5E2+%2B+%28+5+-%28-4%29+%29%5E2+%29+\"
\n" ); document.write( "Distance = \"+sqrt%28+%28+-5+%29%5E2+%2B++9%5E2+%29+\"
\n" ); document.write( "Distance = \"+sqrt%28+25+%2B+81+%29+\"
\n" ); document.write( "Distance = \"+sqrt%28+106+%29+\"
\n" ); document.write( "Distance = 10.296\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
