Answer:

the distance formula is just the pythagorean theorem, A^2+B^2=C^2, or the distance, C=sqrt(A^2+B^2). In order to find any point between 50 and 60 units away, simply choose a set of coordinates that will satisfy the equation using the given point, (7, -2), where abs(7-x) is A and abs(y-2) is B. for example, let x =60 and y=0, then C=sqrt(53^2+(-2)^2) =52.96 ish. which is between 50 and 60.
