Question

Find the distance between the points (-3, -4) and (-5, 2) using the Pythagorean Theorem.

Answer 1

d=6.324

Explanation:

`d=\sqrt{(x2-x1)^(2)+(y2-y1)^(2) }`

`d=\sqrt{(-5-(-3)^(2) +(2-(-4)^(2) }`

`d=\sqrt{(-5+3)^(2)+(2+4)^(2) }`

`d=\sqrt{(-2)^(2)+6^(2) }`

`d=√(4+36)`

`d=√(40)`

`d=6.324`
