Question

Find the distance between (11, 7), (16, 6)

Answer 1

Use the distance formula:

Answer 2

The answer is √26

Explanation:

Given;

• x₁ = 11; x₂ = 16
• y₁ = 7; y₂ = 6

Let the point be A and B i.e.,

A = (11, 7)

B = (16, 6)

Now, The distance between A and B

AB = √(x₂ – x₁)² + (y₂ – y₁)²

AB = √(16 – 11)² + (6 – 7)²

AB = √(5)² + (-1)²

AB = √25 + 1

AB = √26

Thus, The distance between A and B is √26
