Question

Use the distance formula to find the distance between the points given.(3,4), (4,5)

Answer 1

To find the distance between two points, the formula is

`d=√((x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2)`

Where

`\begin{gathered} (x_1,y_1)=(3,4) \\ (x_2,y_2)=(4,5) \end{gathered}`

Substitute the values of the variables into the formula above

`d=√((4-3)^2+(5-4)^2)=√(1^2+1^2)=√(1+1)=√(2)\text{ units}`

Hence, the answer is

`√(2)\text{ units}`
