d(A,B)
Distance between two points
x1 y1 x2 y2

4 6 -2 -3
d= sqrt%28%28y2-y1%29%5E2%2B%28x2-x1%29%5E2%29
d= sqrt%28%28-3-6%29%5E2%2B%28-2-4%29%5E2%29
d= sqrt%28%28-9%29%5E2%2B%28-6%29%5E2%29
d= sqrt%28%28117%29%29
d (A,B)= 10.82
-----
d(B,C)
Distance between two points
x1 y1 x2 y2

-6 -3 -2 -3
d= sqrt%28%28y2-y1%29%5E2%2B%28x2-x1%29%5E2%29
d= sqrt%28%28-3-%28-3%29%29%5E2%2B%28-2-%28-6%29%29%5E2%09%29
d= sqrt%28%280%29%5E2%2B%284%29%5E2%29
d= sqrt%28%2816%29%29
d(B,C)= 4.00
