Question

Find the distance between points 5,9 and (7,-7) using the distance formual

Answer 1

========================================
Formula to find Distance:
========================================

`\text{Distance = } √(X2-X1)^2 + (Y2-Y1)^2)`

========================================
Find Distance between (5, 9) and (7, -7):
========================================

X2 = 5, X1 = 7, Y2 = 9, Y1 = -7, therefore,


`\text{Distance = } √((9+7)^2 + (5-7)^2)`

`\text{Distance = } √((16)^2 + (2)^2)`

`\text{Distance = } √(256 + 4)`

`\text{Distance = } √(260)`

`\text{Distance = } 16.12 \text{ units}`

========================================
Answer: 16.12 units
