The pole vault is located at (4,4) and the long jump is located at (1,2). Using the distance formula, we can calculate the distance between the two points:
Distance = sqrt((4-1)^2 + (4-2)^2)
Distance = sqrt(3^2 + 2^2)
Distance = sqrt(9 + 4)
Distance = sqrt(13)
Therefore, the distance between the pole vault and the long jump is approximately 3.6 units.
