Question

Find the distance between these points.
R(-1,0), S(8,6)
V(26)
V(85)
3V(13)

Answer 1

The distance is equal to
`3√(13)\ 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)}`

we have

`R(-1,0)\\S(8,6)`

substitute the values

`d=\sqrt{(6-0)^(2)+(8+1)^(2)}`

`d=\sqrt{(6)^(2)+(9)^(2)}`

`d=√(36+81)`

`d=√(117)\ units`

Simplify

`d=3√(13)\ units`
