Answer:
1. The problem is similar to what I worked on yesterday in that they both needed me to calculate the distance between two given points.
2. The problem is different than what I worked on yesterday because I have to calculate the distance between two completely different points than from the previous ones.
3. I might be able to solve the problem by plugging in the coordinate points into the distance formula, simplifying it, and then solving it to calculate the distance between the two given points.
