The distance between $(4,pi/2)$ and $(2,pi/3)$
is $approx 2.067403124$ units.

$(4,pi/2)$ and $(2,pi/3)$

Use the distance formula:
$d=sqrt((x2-x1)^2+(y2-y1)^2)$
$d=sqrt(2^2+(pi/2-pi/3)^2)$
$d=sqrt(4+(pi/6)^2)$
$d=sqrt(4+pi^2/36)$
$d approx 2.067403124$

What is the distance between (4, pi/2 )(4, pi/2 ) and (2, pi/3 )(2, pi/3 )?
