Isn't it pointless to do Math.abs() since result is always positive number anyway? ;)

Your teacher must be cringing!

"The square of the hypotenuse equals the sum of the squares of the opposite two sides" should be familar.. ;-)

Math.sqrt ( Math.pow(Math.abs(x1-x2),2 )+Math.pow(Math.abs(y1-y2),2 )+))


Why not skip the math lessons and use the Point class?

Yes, my explanation was what was completely pointless..
