The distance between two points is given by,

\n" ); document.write( " $\"13=%287-3%29%5E2%2B%28y-3%29%5E2%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"13=16%2B%28y-3%29%5E2%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"%28y-3%29%5E2=-3%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( "You cannot square a number and get a negative value.
\n" ); document.write( "Therefore, there is no solution for y such that the distance is $\"sqrt%2813%29\"$ . \n" ); document.write( "
