Answer 1

The answer is 50 ( Square root ) OR 0.07


Hope that this is helpful :)

Answer 2

Distance between points (5, -3) and (0, 2) is √50 or 7.07

Explanation:

We need to find distance between two points (5,-3) and (0,2)

The distance formula used is:

`d= \sqrt {\left( { x_2-x_1 } \right)^2 + \left( {y_2-y_1} \right)^2 }`

here

x₁= 5, y₁=-3, x₂=0 and y₂=2

Putting values in the formula:

`d= \sqrt {\left( {x_2-x_1} \right)^2 + \left( {y_2-y_1} \right)^2 }\\d= \sqrt {\left( {0-5} \right)^2 + \left( {2-(-3)} \right)^2 }\\d= \sqrt {\left( {-5} \right)^2 + \left( {2+3} \right)^2 }\\d= \sqrt {25+25}\\d= \sqrt {50}\\d= 7.07`

So, distance between points (5, -3) and (0, 2) is √50 or 7.07
