You can put this solution on YOUR website!
what you have is a right triangle with sides (4+2)=6 in the y direction
\n" ); document.write( "& (1+3)=4 in the x direction.
\n" ); document.write( "seeing as we're looking for the hypotenuse of this right triangle we use the pythagorean therom:a^2+b^2=c^2
\n" ); document.write( "6^2+4^2=c^2
\n" ); document.write( "36+16=c^2
\n" ); document.write( "c^2=52
\n" ); document.write( "c=sqrt52
\n" ); document.write( "c=7.21 is the distance between these 2 points.
\n" ); document.write( "------------------------------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "OR C=SQRT52=SQRT(4*13)=2SQRT(13)
\n" ); document.write( "THIS IS THE SAME ANSWER IN A DIFFERENT FORM.
