D= √(x sub2 - x sub1)^2 + (y sub2 - ysub1)

D= √(0-0)^2 + (4-2)^2

D= √0^2 + 2^2

D= √0 + 4

D= √4

D = 2

There are many ways to do this, I prefer the distance formula it looks like this:

√((x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2)
We are given 2 pairs of coordinates: (0,2) and (0,4)
0=x1
2=y1
0=x2
4=y2
We take the numbers and sub in the values above in place of the variables:

√((0-0)^2+(4-2)^2)
Simplfy it:

√((0)^2+(2)^2)
0^2=0
2^2=4
We are left with :

√(4)

√(4) =2
Final answer: 2
