Step-by-step explanation:
The distance formula is given by:
[tex]d = \sqrt{ {(x_2-x_1)}^{2} + {(y_2-y_1)}^{2} } [/tex]
We want to find the distance between (a,b) and (x,y).
The center of the habitat is missing in the question.
Assuming the center is (a,b) where a and b are real numbers, then we can use the distance formula to obtain:
[tex] d = \sqrt{(x - a)^{2} + {(y - b)}^{2} } [/tex]
For instance if the center of your habitat us (2,-1), then
[tex]d = \sqrt{(x - 2)^{2} + {(y + 1)}^{2} } [/tex]
