3a + 40 + 2a + 25 = 90
[spoiler]5a + 65 = 90[/spoiler]
[spoiler]5a = 25[/spoiler]
[spoiler]a = 5[/spoiler]

(-1,2) & ( 3,-4)
D = sqrt( (x1-x2)^2 + (y1-y2)^2 )
[spoiler]D = sqrt( (-1-3)^2 + (2--4)^2 )[/spoiler]
[spoiler]D = sqrt( (-4)^2 + (6)^2 )[/spoiler]
[spoiler]D = sqrt( 16 + 36 )[/spoiler]
[spoiler]D = sqrt( 52 )[/spoiler]
[spoiler]since sqrt(49) = 7, sqrt(52) is a little bigger than that[/spoiler]
