Question 236211: i have a project and its says that plot the points, they gave 3 ordered pairs and i plot it in a graph paper. I connected the dots forming a triangle. Then, the follow up question I didn't understand is "Find the lengths of each side of the resulting triangle." it's about distance formula if i have to use the distance formula for the 3 ordered pairs

---------------------
Take two points and a time and use the following formula
to find the length of side determined by those 2 points.

d = sqrt[(change in x values)^2 + (change in y values)^2]
