Question

Plz help been stuck on this for awhile

Answer 1

d =
`√(74)` or 8.60

Explanation:

(5, 8) (-2, 3)

Let 5 =
`x_(1)`

8 =
`y_(1)`

-2 =
`x_(2)`

3 =
`y_(2)`

Plug in the values into the equation to get the distance:

d =
`\sqrt{(x_(2)-x_(1))^(2) + (y_(2)-y_(1))^(2) }`

d =
`\sqrt{(-2-5)^(2) + (3-8)^(2) }`

d =
`\sqrt{(-7)^(2) + (5)^(2) }`

d =
`√(49 + 25)`

d =
`√(74)` or 8.60
