,P 2
​
) between the given points P 1
​
and P 2
​
. P 1
​
=(0,0)
P 2
​
=(5,1)
​

Answer 1

distance =
`√(26)`

Explanation:

To find the distance between two points P1(x1,y1) and P2(x2,y2), use the distance formula:

d =
`\sqrt{(x2-x1)^(2) +(y2-y1)^(2) }` (where x1=0, x2=5, y1=0 and y2=1)

d =
`\sqrt{(5-0)^(2)+(1-0)^(2) }`

d =
`√(25+1)`

d =
`√(26)`
