$color(blue)("Distance between the two points is " color(green)(2)$

$"Given : " A (4, pi/2), B(2, pi/2)$

$x_A = 4 cos (pi/2) = 0, y_A = 4 sin (pi/2) = 4$

$x_B = 2 cos (pi/2) = 0, y_B = 2 sin (pi/2) = 2$

$color(brown)("Since y coordinates of both the points are 0"),$

$color(crimson)("Distance between A & B is " = x_A - x_B = 4 - 2 = 2$

What is the distance between (4, pi/2 )(4, pi/2 ) and (2, pi/12 )(2, pi/12 )?
