Thank you We sneak vertical and horizontal distances on a

00:06

plane Allah shmoop samuel l jackson has been called in

00:11

to help with the situation He's only just discovered that

00:14

the reason he was contacted was because he has prior

00:17

experience dealing with the things on a plane He's just

00:21

about to leave in a huff When he's offered a

00:22

free meatball sub for his time we'll never one to

00:26

turn down a meatball sub Sam changes his mind he's

00:29

on the job The situation in question is that there

00:32

are two points five seven and five Negative too The

00:36

mission to determine the distance between those two points and

00:40

without dripping any meat sauce onto the plane Okay so

00:44

here's the plain here's five seven and here's five Negative

00:47

too Well sam could just count the number of units

00:49

with his finger that he knows there's a better way

00:52

besides he's dealing with some small Numbers here And what

00:55

if 1 day he's asked to find the distance between

00:58

safe The points three hundred forty eight to twenty six

01:01

and three hundred forty eight five Eighty two So to

01:04

find the vertical lists And sam knows that All he

01:06

needs to do is subtract the y coordinates Well if

01:09

it were a horizontal distance he was looking for it'd

01:12

be the x coordinates that it be different so that

01:14

you just subtract those in this case though he could

01:17

take seven minus negative too get nine if he'd subtracted

01:22

those numbers in the reverse order negative to minus seven

01:26

Well you have gotten negative nine and then taking the

01:29

absolute value of that thing since distance is always positive

01:33

Well mr jackson has once again saved the day and

01:35

appears to be down to his last meatball So will

01:38

be giving you until next time you've got among men
