~~~~~~~~~~~~\textit{distance between 2 points} \\\\ (\stackrel{x_1}{4.7}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{0.5})\qquad (\stackrel{x_2}{0.2}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{-1.2})\qquad \qquad d = √(( x_2- x_1)^2 + ( y_2- y_1)^2) \\\\\\ d=√((0.2-4.7)^2+(-1.2-0.5)^2)\implies d=√((-4.5)^2 + (-1.7)^2) \\\\\\ d=√(20.25 + 2.89)\implies d=√(23.14)\implies d\approx 4.810
