Answer:

use formula of distance ;

Explanation:

d = distance

(x_1, y_1) = coordinates of the first point

(x_2, y_2) = coordinates of the second point

so d is √((x_2-x_1)²+(y_2-y_1)²)

to find the distance between any two points.

taking A as x coordinate and B as y coordinate ie

A= [10,0]; B= [0,30]

[10 is x1 ,0 is y1 ]; [0is x2 and 30 is y2]

putting values in distance formula

√(0-10)²+(30-0)²

= √( -10 )²+(30)²

=
\sqrt 100+900

=√1000

= 31.622

the distance between ab is 31.62 or√1000
