+d%5E2+=+%28+x%5B2%5D+-+x%5B1%5D+%29%5E2+%2B+%28+y%5B2%5D+-+y%5B1%5D+%29%5E2+%29+
+d+=+sqrt%28+%28+x%5B2%5D+-+x%5B1%5D+%29%5E2+%2B+%28+y%5B2%5D+-+y%5B1%5D+%29%5E2+%29+
and
( x[1], y[1] ) = W( -1, 4 )
( x[2], y[2] ) = T( 4, 1 )
--------------------------------
+d+=+sqrt%28+%28+4+-%28-1+%29+%29%5E2+%2B+%28+1+-+4+%29%5E2+%29+
+d+=+sqrt%28+5%5E2+%2B+%28-3%29%5E2+%29+
+d+=+sqrt%28+25+%2B+9+%29+
+d+=+sqrt%28+34+%29+
+d+=+5.831+
