Question

What is the distance between (5,6) and (2.4)

Answer 1

the answer is (3,2)

5 - 2 = 3.

6 - 4 = 2.

Answer 2

`√(13)`

Explanation:

Calculate the distance d using the distance formula

d = √ (x₂ - x₁ )² + (y₂ - y₁ )²

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (5, 6) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (2, 4)

d =
`√(x(2-5)^2+(4-6)^2)`

=
`√((-3)^2+(-2)^2)` =
`√(9+4)` =
`√(13)` ← exact value
