Distance between $(-5,13)$ and $(4,7)$ is $10.817$

The distance between two points $(x_1,y_1)$ and $(x_2,y_2)$ is given by

$sqrt((x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2)$ .

Hence distance between $(-5,13)$ and $(4,7)$ is

$sqrt((4-(-5))^2+(7-13)^2)$ or

$sqrt((4+5)^2+(-6)^2)$ or

$sqrt(81+36)=sqrt117=10.817$

What is the distance between (–5, 13) (–5, 13) and (4, 7) (4, 7) ?
