<PRE><B>Question 110455</B>
what you have is a right triangle with sides (4+2)=6 in the y direction 
&amp; (1+3)=4 in the x direction.
seeing as we&#39;re looking for the hypotenuse of this right triangle we use the pythagorean therom:a^2+b^2=c^2
6^2+4^2=c^2
36+16=c^2
c^2=52
c=sqrt52
c=7.21 is the distance between these 2 points.
