Why am I getting this error on encapsulation in C++?

This is my Line2D.h

#include <iostream>
#include <fstream>
#include <string>
#include <sstream>
#include <vector>
#include <cstdlib>
#include <cmath>
#include <algorithm>

        // Set function
        void setLength();

    public:
        // Constructor
        Line2D();
        Line2D(Point2D pt1, Point2D pt2);

        // Get functions
        Point2D getPt1();
        Point2D getPt2();
        double getScalarValue();

        // Set functions
        void setPt1(Point2D pt1);

This is my Line2D.cpp,

    int xL = pow((pt1.getX() - pt2.getX()),2);
    int yL = pow((pt1.getY() - pt2.getY()),2);
    length = sqrt(xL + yL);
    this -> length = length;
}

{
    return(pt1 == otherL2D.pt1 &&
            pt1 == otherL2D.pt2);
}

This is my Point2D.cpp,

#include "Point2D.h"
// #include "Line2D.h"

Point2D::Point2D()
{
    x = 0;
    y = 0;
}

Point2D::Point2D(int x, int y)
{
    this -> x = x;
    this -> y = y;
}

void Point2D::setX(int x)
{
    this -> x = x;
}

void Point2D::setY(int y)
{
    this -> y = y;
}

int Point2D::getX()
{
    return x;
}

int Point2D::getY()
{
    return y;
}

void Point2D::setDistFrOrigin()
{
    distFrOrigin = sqrt( pow(x,2) + pow(y,2) );
}

void Point2D::printPoint2D()
{
    cout << "  " << x  << "  " << y << "  " << distFrOrigin << endl;
}

bool Point2D::operator==(const Point2D& otherP2D) const 
{
    return(x == otherP2D.x &&
            y == otherP2D.y);
}

Here's my problem:
My Point2D works fine. Line2D encapsulates Point2D. How do I write the constructor and the setLength() function? The error I am getting is within these 2:
1) in Line2D.cpp: Point2D is not a direct base of Line2D
2) '': ISO C++ forbids declaration of 'setLength' with no type
3) '': setLength() cannot be overloaded (qn, what do i need to overload and how?)
4) '': call of overloaded 'pow(int,int)' is ambiguous

Those are the errors I am getting. I will be grateful for any help.

Thank you!

1) The x and y members of Point2D are protected, and since Line2D doesn't inherit from Point2D, or has been friended by the Point2D class, this is expected.
2 and 3) setLength() in Line2D has no return type in the .cpp file. Even if it returns void, you still need to declare that since C++ assumes no return type indicates an int return type, and you have no int setLength() member function declared in Line2D.cpp. You make similar mistakes elsewhere. Time for some code cleanup I think.
