The distance between two points J and K is 13 unit (approx)

Explanation:

Given,

Two points are J(3,0) and k(6,-13).

To find the distance between J and K.

Formula

The distance between two points (
x_(1) ,y_(1)) and (
x_(2) ,y_(2)) is
\sqrt{(x_(2)-x_(1) ) ^(2)+(y_(2)-y_(1) ) ^(2) }

Now,

Putting,
x_(1) = 3, y_(1)=0, x_(2)=6, y_(2)=-13 we get,

JK =
\sqrt{(6-3)^(2) +(-13-0)^(2) }

=
√(178) unit = 13.34 unit (approx)
