notes:

c= Colin

s=Sara

g=Gordon

c=g+36 (1)

c : g

5 : 1

c/g=5

c=g*5 (2)

=> from statement (1) => g*5=g+36

5g-g=36

4g=36

g=36/4=9 g=9 sweets

=> from statement (2)=>c=5*9=45 c=45 sweets

s : g

2 : 1

=>s/g=2/1

=> s=2g

s=2*9 s=18 sweets

sum=c+s+g

sum=45+18+9=72 sweets

Find the distance between the points:
lesantik [10]
To calculate distance between two points we use the distance formula sqrt((x2−x1)^2+(y2−y1)^2).  

To start, we find the square of the distance between x1 and x2 and y1 and y2.  The distance between x1 and x2, or 1 and 3, is 2. The distance between y1 and y2, or 3 and -4, is 7.

Now we square 2 and 7 and add them together to get 4 + 49 = 53.

The last thing we do to find the distance is take the square root of 53. 53 is not a perfect square and is also a prime number so our answer in simplest form is still sqrt53.<span />
