The distance between
Explanation:
The formula for the distance between
d=sqrt(((x_"2"-x_"1")^2+(y_"2"-y_"1")^2))
Substitute the points into the distance formula:
d=sqrt(((x_"2"-x_"1")^2+(y_"2"-y_"1")^2))
d=sqrt(((42)-(15))^2+((4)-(24))^2)
d=sqrt((27)^2+(-20)^2)
d=sqrt((729)+(400)
d=sqrt(1129)
d~~33.6
