One important source of metrics in.
Also dont get careless with the square-root symbol. X1 - x22 y1 - y2212. X2 a2 y2 b2 1 where 2 a is the distance between the two intersections with the x -axis and b a e2 1 where e is the eccentricity hypotenuse the side in a right-angled triangle that is opposite the right angle icosahedron a solid figure having 20 faces. Walk through deriving a general formula for the distance between two points.
