(Geometry: distance of two points) Write a program that prompts the user to enter two points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) and displays their distance between them. The formula for computing the distance is

Note that you can use Math.pow(a, 0.5) to compute a. Here is a sample run:

Output:

Enter x1 and y1: 1.5 -3.4
Enter x2 and y2: 4 5
The distance between the two points is 8.764131445842194
