Question

Find the distance between the points (1,0) and (0,2).

Answer 1

3 points, I believe.

Explanation:

Answer 2

`√(5)`

EXPLANATION

The given points are (1,0) and (0,2).

We use the distance formula:

`d = √((x_2-x_1)^2 +(y_2-y_1)^2)`

We substitute the given points into the formula to get:

`d = √((0-1)^2 +(2-0)^2)`

We simplify to get:

`d = √(1+4)`

`d = √(5)`

Therefore the distance between the two points is √5 units.
