Solved by pluggable solver: Distance Between 2 points
The distance formula is sqrt%28%28%28x%5B2%5D-x%5B1%5D%29%5E2%29%2B%28%28y%5B2%5D-y%5B1%5D%29%5E2%29%29. Plug in the numbers,
sqrt%28%28%28-2-%28-10%29%29%5E2%29%2B%28%284-%28-2%29%29%5E2%29%29
sqrt%288%5E2%2B6%5E2%29 The distance is 10.




the length of a segment is 10
