Question

Find the distance between point a (5,3) and point B (1,0) on a graph using the Pythagorean theorem.

options
A) 5
B) 25
C) 6
D) 4

Answer 1

The answer to your question is: letter a

Explanation:

To solved this problem, I suggest to draw the points, and after that draw a right triangle, the distance from A to B will be the hypotenuse, and the other sides will be the legs of the triangle.

C = hypotenuse

a and b will be the legs

from the draw a = 4 units

b = 3 units

then

c2 = a2 + b2

c2 = 4² + 3²

c² = 16 + 9

c² = 25

c = 5 units
