Question

What is the approximate distance between point A and B? A(1,4),B(-2,-3)

Answer 1

√58 or 7.61 units

Explanation:

Given points are:

A(1,4)

B(-2,-3)

The distance formula is used to find distance between two points.

The distance formula is:

`d=\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^(2)+(y_2-y_1)^(2)} \\Putting\ the\ values\\d=\sqrt{(-2-1)^(2)+(-3-4)^(2)}\\=\sqrt{(-3)^(2)+(-7)^(2)}\\=√(9+49)\\=√(58)\\`

So the approximate distance is √58 or 7.61 units ..
