\bf \textit{distance between 2 points}\\ \quad \\ \begin{array}{lllll} &x_1&y_1&x_2&y_2\\ % (a,b) &({{ 4}}\quad ,&{{ 7}})\quad % (c,d) &({{ 2}}\quad ,&{{ 2}}) \end{array}\qquad % distance value d = \sqrt{({{ x_2}}-{{ x_1}})^2 + ({{ y_2}}-{{ y_1}})^2} \\\\\\ d=√((2-4)^2+(2-7)^2)\implies d=√((-2)^2+(-5)^2) \\\\\\ d=√(4+25)\implies d=√(29)
