Question

What is the distance, d, between the points (3,52) and (53,1)?Enter your answer in the box. Enter your answer in simplest radical form.

Answer 1

The formula for distance between two points in the Cartesians plane is:

`d=√((x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2)`

Replace the points:

`d=√((53-3)^2+(1-52)^2)`
`d=√(50^2+(-51)^2)`
`d=√(2500+2601)`
`d=√(5101)`
