Hey guys,
I have to do some homework about straight lines. So far I've managed everything without problems, but the I stumpled upon this question:

The perpendicular bisector of the straight line joining the points (3,2) and (5,6) meets the x axis at A and the y axis at B. Prove that the distance AB is equal to 6x"square root 5"(I don't know how to do the symbol...)

Kinda hard to prove the distance is 6x"square root 5",
when the actual distance is 2x"square root 5".

It's a 1 X 2 X SR 5 triangle. Except here the sides
are 2 and 4, so the hypotenuse is 2 SR 5.

can you maybe elaborate on that, I don't understand what your meaning here?
thx
