Question

How do you solve this?

Answer 1

Answer: sqrt 97

Explanation:

We need to use the distance formula: d = sqrt{(x_2 - x_1)^2 + (y_2-y_1)^2}

You can assign each x and y value a corresponding number and substitute them into this equation and get:

d= sqrt {(16-12)^2 + (14-5)^2}

Then, simplify

d= sqrt {16+81}

d= sqrt{97}
