Explanation:

Step1: Define distance calculation

Distance is the absolute value of the difference between the final position and the initial position.
$\text{Distance} = |\text{Final Position} - \text{Initial Position}|$

Step2: Substitute given values

Initial position (window) = 0 yards, final position = -13 yards.
$\text{Distance} = |-13 - 0|$

Step3: Simplify the expression

Calculate the absolute value of -13.
$\text{Distance} = |-13| = 13$

Answer:

13 yards
