$45.177$

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 $(7,−16)$ and $(−14,24)$ is

$sqrt(((-14)-7)^2+(24-(-16)^2)$ or

$sqrt((-21)^2+(40)^2)$ or

$sqrt(441+1600)$ or $sqrt2041$ or $45.177$

What is the distance between (7,-16)(7,-16) and (-14,24)(-14,24)?
