The formula for the distance between 2 points is:
d = ( ( x 2 - x 1 ) 2 + ( y 2 - y 1 ) 2 )
1 s t point ( 15 , 24 )
2 n d point ( x 2 , y 2 )
Substitute the points into the distance formula:
d = ( ( x 2 - x 1 ) 2 + ( y 2 - y 1 ) 2 )
d = ( ( 42 ) - ( 15 ) ) 2 + ( ( 4 ) - ( 24 ) ) 2
d = ( 27 ) 2 + ( - 20 ) 2
d = 1129
d 33.6
