Show that the points (3,4),(-4,3),(-4,-3) are highlight%28cross%28equidistance%29%29 equidistant from origin.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


Calculate the distance from the origin for each point, and then compare. 

For example, for the point (-4,3) the distance from the origin is

sqrt%28%28-4%29%5E2%2B3%5E2%29 = sqrt%2816%2B9%29 = sqrt%2825%29 = 5.

Do the same for other points.
