<span>Because the four numbers are consecutive, we can call the first one x, and the other three are x+1, x+2, and x+3, respectively.
x * (x+1) = (x+2) * (x+3) - 38
x^2 + x = x^2 + 5x +6-38
x^2 + x = x^2 + 5x - 32
-4x = -32
x=8
The four numbers are 8, 9, 10, and 11
check solution: 8*9=10*11-38
72=110-38
72=72</span>

Answer:
5
Step-by-step explanation:
d= √(5-1)^2+(1-4)^2
d= √4^2+(-3)^2
d= √16+9
d=√25
d=5
