Question

Which expression gives the distance between the two points 2 5 and 4 8

Answer 1

the correct answer is A i juss took the test so... yea

Explanation:

Answer 2

The distance between the two points (2 ,5) and (4, 8) is 3.61

Explanation:

The distance between two points can be calculated by using formula

`D(d_(1),d_(2)) = \sqrt{(x_(2)- x_(1))^2+(y_(2)- y_(1))^2}`

Here x₁ = 2, y₁ = 5, x₂ = 4 and y₂ = 8

Finding distance between two points

`D(d_(1),d_(2)) = √((4-2)^2+(8-5)^2)\\D(d_(1),d_(2)) = √((2)^2+(3)^2)\\D(d_(1),d_(2)) = √(4+9)\\D(d_(1),d_(2)) = √(13)\\D(d_(1),d_(2)) = 3.61`

So, the distance between the two points (2 ,5) and (4, 8) is 3.61
