Find the distance between (12, –3) and (0, 2). i think its 13.42 but that doesnt sound right.

\n" ); document.write( "Lets find out:
\n" ); document.write( "The distance equation:
\n" ); document.write( "d = \"sqrt%28%28x2-x1%29%5E2+%2B+%28y2-y1%29%5E2%29\"
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Assign your values as follows
\n" ); document.write( "x1 = 12
\n" ); document.write( "y1 = -3
\n" ); document.write( "and
\n" ); document.write( "x2 = 0
\n" ); document.write( "y2 = 2
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "d = \"sqrt%28%280-12%29%5E2+%2B+%282-%28-3%29%29%5E2%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "d = \"sqrt%28%280-12%29%5E2+%2B+%282%2B3%29%5E2%29\"; minus a minus is a plus
\n" ); document.write( "d = \"sqrt%28%28-12%29%5E2+%2B+%285%29%5E2%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "d = \"sqrt%28144+%2B+25%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "d = \"sqrt%28169%29\"; find the square root of 169 on a calc
