Question

Find the distance between each pair of points (-3,4) (2,6)

Answer 1

≈ 5.4 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 ) = (- 3, 4) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (2, 6)

d =
`√((2+3)^2+(6-4)^2)`

=
`√(5^2+2^2)`

=
`√(25+4)`

=
`√(29)`

≈ 5.4 ( to 1 dec. place )
