To determine the distance between the pole vault and the long jump, we can use the distance formula:
Distance = sqrt((x2 - x1)^2 + (y2 - y1)^2)
Using the coordinates provided:
Pole vault: (-1, 4)
Long jump: (2, 5)
Distance = sqrt((2 - (-1))^2 + (5 - 4)^2)
Distance = sqrt((3)^2 + (1)^2)
Distance = sqrt(9 + 1)
Distance = sqrt(10)
Distance ≈ 3.16 units
Therefore, the pole vault is approximately 3.16 units away from the long jump.
