The distance, d, between any points with coordinates (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) can be found by using the distance formula.
d+=+sqrt%28%28x2-x1%29%5E2%2B%28y2-y1%29%5E2%29
same formula can be used to find the length of the segment with endpoints h(2,-3) and j(26,7)
d+=+sqrt%28%2826-2%29%5E2%2B%287-%28-3%29%29%5E2%29
d+=+sqrt%28%2824%29%5E2%2B%287%2B3%29%5E2%29
d+=+sqrt%28%2824%29%5E2%2B%2810%29%5E2%29
d+=+sqrt%28576%2B100%29
d+=+sqrt%28676%29
d+=+26

the distance between a or b when a+(7,11) and b(-1,5)
d+=+sqrt%28%28-1-7%29%5E2%2B%285-11%29%5E2%29
d+=+sqrt%28%28-8%29%5E2%2B%28-6%29%5E2%29
d+=+sqrt%2864%2B36%29
d+=+sqrt%28100%29
d+=+10
