By using the distance formula. We calculate the difference of the like coordinates (e.g longitude1-longitude2 or latitude1-latitude2 etc) then add the "squares" of the differences. And finally taking the square root of the answer.

How can knowing the divisibility rules help to determine if a number is prime or composite?
Knowing the divisibility rules will help you by being able to recognize if a number has factors (other than one and itself) which are covered by the rules. This will save actually having to start doing divisions.
How do road workers use math?
Road workers use math to calculate the amount of material used to resurface roadways and the distances which must be covered. By knowing exactly what is needed and where it will be done, they can perform their jobs more efficiently.
What is the surface area of a regular pyramid with a slant height of 21 and a base of 5?
It is impossible to answer the question without knowing the shape of the base, which will determine how many sloped triangles there are.
What is the mass in grams of a 98 mL?
No possible to determine without knowing what you are trying to measure. You need to be able to calculate the density of the liquid (e.g. water vs mercury).
If I know the sq.ft. how do I determine the area and perimeter?
"Sq.ft." is the area. It's a phrase used by people who actually don't understandthe whole concept. If you know the sq.ft., then you know the area, because they'rethe same thing. But you can't determine the perimeter from knowing the area.
Is knowing the coordinates of the vertex of a parabola enough to determine the domain and range?
i think that the range and the domain of a parabola is the coordinates of the vertex
Why would knowing the circumference of earth be helpful to the Greeks?
It would give them an estimate of distances and of the scientific explanations of astral and earthly events and distances,

What is mathematical principle behind GPS?
GPS positioning uses a three-dimensional triangulation method (called trilateration) to determine the location of the GPS receiver. Knowing the distance and location of multiple GPS satellites, the receiver can mathematically calculate the intersections of three (or more) spheres to determine its own location, using geometry in three dimensions. Trilateration is explained at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trilateration.
Identify the three factors that can determine?
It will be impossible to answer this question accurately without knowing what the questioner wants to determine.
How is knowing the properties of liquids helpful?
Knowing the properties of fuel is very helpful. For eg, if we know its burning temperature and amount of calories produced, we can determine its efficiency to be used as a fuel. also by knowing the properties of viscosity we can determine its rate of flow, how to efficiently use it for the various purposes. Properties help to determine the best use of the liquid and thus increasing efficiency and productivity.
