Explanation:

The distance formula can be used to track running distances for athletes as it measures the distance between two points. For the points (1, 1) and (1, 4), since the x - coordinates are the same, we find the distance by subtracting the y - coordinates. The distance $d=\vert4 - 1\vert=3$.

Answer:

First question: c. By tracking their running distances
Second question: c. 3
