Question

Find the distance between the points (5,3) and (1,4). answer as a whole number or a fully simplified radical expression. Do not round.

Answer 1

√17

Explanation:

Distance Formula: d = SQR RT OF [(x-sub-1 minus x-sub-2)² + (y-sub-1 minus y-sub-2)²]

d = SQR RT OF [ (5-1)² + (3-4)² ] = SQR RT OF [ 16 + 1 ] = √17

d = √17
