At point V, it is 3 units up and 3 units right to the origin. Point W is 2 units to the left 3 units downwards from the origin.
You can try drawing a straight line from V and W. You will notice it forms a right angle triangle, with VW as the hypothenuse and the other 2 sides as the sum of the length and height of point V and point W.
For example, the height of this triangle is the sum of the 3 units upwards for point V and the 3 units downwards for point W. This means that the total height if the triangle is 6 units.
If you do the same for the base, you get the length and height of the right angle triangle. Using pythagoras theorem will give you the length of VW.
Go give it a try. Hope it helps!
