~~~~~~~~~~~~\textit{distance between 2 points} \\\\ \stackrel{ origin }{(\stackrel{x_1}{0}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{0})}\qquad (\stackrel{x_2}{-15}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{36})\qquad \qquad d = √(( x_2- x_1)^2 + ( y_2- y_1)^2) \\\\\\ d=√((~~-15 - 0~~)^2 + (~~36 - 0~~)^2) \implies \implies d=√(( -15 )^2 + ( 36 )^2) \\\\\\ d=√( 225 + 1296 ) \implies d=√( 1521 )\implies d=39
