you put a fucking box around d and called it d squared... oh my god someone kill me rn

I don't think the answer is completely correct, but the process is helpful.

Dude you gotta write distance squared as D^2. It's really easy to get mixed up otherwise, as I was experiencing when working the problem with you. Also, it's mathematically incorrect.

I thought the D was a zero at first....had to erase my zeros and make them D's xD
