Question

Find the distance between the points

Answer 1

5

Explanation:

√(4^2+3^2)=5

Answer 2

5 units

Explanation:

Calculate the distance d using the distance formula

d =
`\sqrt{(x_(2)-x_(1))^2+(y_(2)-y_(1))^2 }`

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (2, 1) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (6, 4)

d =
`√((6-2)^2+(4-1)^2)`

=
`√(4^2+3^2)`

=
`√(16+9)`

=
`√(25)`

= 5
