Question

Find the distance between the points A and B given below.

(That is, find the length of the segment connecting A and B.)
Round your answer to the nearest hundredth.

Answer 1

The points= (3,2) and (7,5)

Distance =

`\sqrt{ ({x}^(2) - x {}^(1) ) {}^(2) + ({ y}^(2) - y {}^(1) ) {}^(2) }`

=

`\sqrt({4} - 9) {}^(2) + (5 - 7) {}^(2)`

=

`√(25 + 4)`

=

`√(29)`

`5.39`

5.39 is the answer

Answer 2

Explanation:

Horizontal it is 4

Vertical it is 2

Use of Pythagoras theorem to find AB

AB= root of 4^2 + 2^2

= 4.47
