Having the points  A(−3,5) and B(4,−6) on the same plane.We calculate the distance d with the formula:      d    =                                        (                          x              2                        -                          x              1                        )                    2                +                              (                          y              2                        -                          y              1                        )                    2                    So in this case we have:      d    =                                        (            4            -                          (              -              3              )                        )                    2                +                              (            -            6            -            5            )                    2                      =                  49        +        121              =                  170              ≈    13.03

Use formula for distance:            d      2        =                  (        4        +        3        )            2        +                  (        -        6        -        5        )            2        =    49    +    121    =    170  And more detail is d = 13.04
