What is the distance between (13,14) and (-3,14)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 

The general formula for the distance between two points (x,y) and (u,v) is sqrt%28%28u-x%29%5E2+%2B+%28v-y%29%5E2%29.


In your case it becomes sqrt%28%28-3+-+13%29%5E2+%2B+%2814-14%29%5E2%29 = sqrt%28%28-16%29%5E2%2B0%5E2%29 = sqrt%2816%5E2%29 = 16.
