Question

Find the distance between the points (5,2) and (0,-10)

Answer 1

13

Explanation:

Find the x difference between the two points:

5 - 0 = 5

Find the y difference between the two points:

2 - (-10) = 12

Use Pythagoras' Theorem (
`a^(2) + b^(2) = c^(2)`), where a = 5 and b = 12:

`5^2+12^2=169\\√(169) = 13`

The answer is 13 units.
