Question

Adams house, the local park and the nearest hospital are mapped on a coordinate plane. What’s distance between Adams house and the hospital? Please help thank you

Answer 1

`d=√(106)\ units`

Explanation:

We know that

the formula to calculate the distance between two points is equal to

`d=\sqrt{(y2-y1)^(2)+(x2-x1)^(2)}`

Let

`A(-4,2)` -----> Adam's house

`B(5,7)` -----> Hospital

substitute the values

`d=\sqrt{(7-2)^(2)+(5+4)^(2)}`

`d=\sqrt{(5)^(2)+(9)^(2)}`

`d=√(106)\ units`
