Answer 1

✏️ ANSWER

What is the distance between the points (3, 6) and (4, 2)?

Select the best answer from the choices provided.

Answer is: ∅ D. √17

Formula:

Distance (d) Square roots (sqrt) ( x 2 - x 1 )² + ( y2 - y1 )²

d = sqrt ( 4 - 3 )² + ( 2 - 6 )²

d = sqrt ( 1² + 4² )

d = sqrt ( 17 ) 1^2 + 4^2 = 17

Answer 2

Explanation:

Givens

x2 = 4

x1 = 3

y2 = 2

y1 = 6

Formula

distance = sqrt( (x2 - x1)^2 + (y2 - y1)^2) )

Solution

distance = sqrt( (4 - 3)^2 + (2 - 6)^2 )

distance = sqrt( 1^2 + 4^2)

distance = sqrt (17)
