Answer: The distance between (5,3),(1,0) is 25units square.

Explanation:

So, I usually plot the points, and conect them first.

And then I draw a right triangle, so draw two line that conect to the line that we need to find the distance, and form a triangle. Make sure that the line from point (5,3)(1,0) is the Pythagorean triples.

Next, you count the units of the two line that makes a right angle. which is 4 units for the first line, and 3 units for the second.

Thirdly, you plug the numbers into the Pythagorean equation, which is a^2+b^2=c^2 (plug it into a and b, it doesn't matter which number for which letter)

4^2+3^2=c^2

16+9=c^2

25=c^2


√(25) =
√(c)

c=25

My explanation is kinda confusing, sorry about that.
