How to calculate area between two points? Like p1 = (3,2) and p2 = (5,1). Please help.

Umm, points have no area. Neither do lines. Assuming you mean the distance, you can use Pythagoras' Theorem to find the distance (as Euler proposed): |AB| = √(a**2 + b**2) where a and b are the difference between the x-coordinates and y-coordinates respectively. In this case, distance is √((3-5)**2 + (2-1)**2) = √(4+1) = √5, approximately equal to 2.236. Hope this helped. 😉
