Question

Clint is trying to calculate the distance between point G(13, 2) and point H(1, 7). Which of the following expressions will he use?

square root of the quantity of 7 minus 2 all squared plus 1 minus 13 all squared square root of the quantity of 7 minus 13 all squared plus 1 minus 2 all squared square root of the quantity of 7 minus 1 all squared plus 13 minus 2 all squared square root of the quantity of 1 minus 7 all squared plus 2 minus 13 all squared

IS IT A OR B?? SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME! THANK YOU!

Answer 1

give me a sec the answer it

Answer 2

square root of the quantity of
`7` minus
`2` all squared plus
`1` minus
`13` all squared

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

`G(13,2)\\H(1,7)`

substitute the values

`d=\sqrt{(7-2)^(2)+(1-13)^(2)}` -----> this is the expression

`d=\sqrt{(5)^(2)+(-12)^(2)}`

`d=√(169)\ units`

`dGH=13\ units`
