Question

Find the distance between the pair of points.(18,24) and (-6,3)The distance is(Round to the nearest thousandth as needed.)

Answer 1

The distance between these two points is of 31.89 units.

Explanation:

Distance between two points:

Points (x1,y1) and (x2,y2). The distance between them is:

`D=\sqrt[]{(x2-x1)^2+(y2-y1)^2}`

In this question:

The points are: (18,24) and (-6,3). So

`D=\sqrt[]{(18-(-6))^2+(24-3)^2}=\sqrt[]{24^2+21^2}=\sqrt[]{1017}=31.89`

The distance between these two points is of 31.89 units.
