What is the distance formula or how do you use Pythagorean Theorem to solve for the distance on a coordinate plane?
d= square root of (x2-x1)^2 + (y2-y1)^2
(x2-x1)^2 + (y2-y1)^2 = c^2

Find the distance between the points A(−3,−2) and B(5,−1) by using the distance formula or Pythagorean Theorem.
Leave your answer under the radical unless it is a a perfect square. (To get the square root (radical) symbol, press the arrow key). Or, round your decimal answer to the nearest hundredth.
square root of 65

Pedro wants to put a fence around an area. The fence will go around the perimeter of the triangle shown below. You may need to use Pythagorean Theorem to solve for missing parts.
The area is a triangle with two leg lengths of 10 meters and 18 meters. Round to the nearest foot if necessary.
About how much fencing does Pedro need?
49ft
