If you mean a ; (-5,4) & b ; (3,-2)
If you mean that they are the (x,y) coordinates, then please write them in brackets separated by a comma.
If this is what you mean, then we use Pythagoras.
d^2 = a^2 + b^2
Substituting
d^2 = (-5-3)^2 + ( 4 - - 2)^2
d^2 = (-8)^2 + (6)^2
d^2 = 64 + 36
d^2 = 100
d = sqrt(100) = 10 is the distance between the two points.

What is the distance from point A to point B in decimal form?
The answer depends on where A and B are.
The distance from point A to point B on a grid?

What is 6 is to 20 as 54 is to B?
6/20 = 54/B so B = 54*20/6 = 180
If it is 100 yards from point A to point B and point C is 50 yards directly right of point A how far is it from point B to point C?
Assuming the line A to B is straight ahead, and perpendicular to the line A to C : A to B is 100 yds, A to C is 50 yds. If C is directly to the right of A, you have a right-angle triangle. The distance from C to B is the hypotenuse. To find the hypotenuse of a right-angle triangle, use the formula A² + B² = C². Using the formula: A² + B² = C² 50² + 100² = C² 2500 + 10000 = C² 12500 = C² sq rt of 12500 = C 111.80339 = C (The distance from point C to point B is 111.80339 yards)
What are a and b if a x B-Cubed equals 54?
54 = 2 x 3³ So, if a and b are integers, a=2 and b=3
