Question

Find the distance between the points (9, 8) and (5, 3).

Write your answer as a whole number or a fully simplified radical expression. Do not round,

___ unit

Answer 1

6 or 6.4

Explanation:

Point 1

(xA,yA)= (9, 8)

Point

(xB,yB) = (5, 3)

Formula :

Distance between two points =

√(xB−xA)2+(yB−yA)2

Solution :

Distance between two points =

√(5−9)2+(3−8)2= √(−4)2+(−5)2= √16+25= √41 = 6.4031

Distance between points (9, 8) and (5, 3) is 6.4031

But you wanted it in a whole number so 6
