Question

Find the distance between the pair of points.
(5,- 14) and (-15, - 17)

Answer 1

The Answer is approximately: 20.22

Explanation:

The distance formula is:

d = Sqrt ((x - x1)^2 + (y - y1)2)

The points are (5, -14), (-15, -17)

d = Sqrt ((5 - (-15))^2 + (-14 - (-17))^2)

d = Sqrt ((5 + 15)^2 + (-14 + 17)^2)

d = Sqrt (20^2 + 3^2)

d = Sqrt (400 + 9)

d = Sqrt (409) = 20.22
