Answer:

There are 600 students in this school.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let p represent the total population of the school.

Then (1/3)p represents the number of students who like math.  Subtracting this (1/3)p from p gives an expression representing those who do not like math:  

p - (1/3)p = (2/3)p

400 students do not like math, so (2/3)p = 400.

Solve this for p by multiplying both sides by (3/2):

(3/2)(2/3)p = (3/2)(400), which simplifies to p = 600.

There are 600 students in this school.

Why the order of the coordinates does not matter when calculating length
Rudiy27
The formula for calculating length is:
\sqrt{ (x_b-x_a)^{2} + (y_b-y_a)^{2} }

We can also write x_a - x_b or y_a - y_b
Why it does not matter?
Let's assume we have 2 numbers, a and b.
When we perform a subtraction:
a-b, we get another number c
When we perform another subtraction:
b-a, we get a number -c

When we raise c or -c to the power of 2, the result is the same, c^{2}.
