Answer:

The distance between these two points is
√(58)

Explanation:

Step 1: Find the distance using the distance formula


d = √((x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2)

Plug in 0 for
x_2, 3 for
x_1, 2 for
y_2, 9 for
y_1


d = √((0-3)^2+(2-9)^2)


d = √((-3)^2+(-7)^2)


d=√(9+49)


d=√(58)

Answer: The distance between these two points is
√(58)

Hey there!


\large\boxed{√(58)}

Use the pythagorean theorem:

a² + b² = c²

a will be rise and b will be run.

Distance between 9 and 2 is 7.

Distance between 3 and 0 is 3.

Plug those into the equation.

7² + 3² = c²

Square.

49 + 9 = c²

Add.

58 = c²

Square root both sides.

√58 = c

This is the distance in radical form.

Hope this helps!
