Question

Find the distance between these two points on the graph.

A. 2
B. 5.8
C. 3
D. 3.2

Answer 1

B) 5.8

Explanation:

5^2 + 3^2 = x^2 ( By Pythagoras theorem )

25 + 9 = x^2

34 = x^2

x = 5.8

Answer 2

5.83 units

Explanation:

By counting the squares and using Pythagoras theorem:

D^2 = 3^2 + 5^2 = 34

D = √34

= 5.83.
