Question

If point A is located at (0, -8) and B is located at (4,-5), what is the distance between them?

Answer 1

Distance between A and B is 13.06 units(m)

Explanation:

We know that distance formula is:

d =
`√((x2 - x1)^2 + (y2 - y1)^2)`

Now we have to find distance between A and B: d(AB)

Given that:

A has coordinates (x1 , y1): (0, -8)

B has coordinates(x2 , y2): (4,-5)

By Applying given formula:

d(AB) =
`√((4-0)^2 + (-5-8)^2)`

d(AB) =
`√((4)^2+(-13)^2)`

d(AB) =
`√(16 + 169 ) \\√(185)`

d(AB) = 13.60 units
