Answer:

Distance formula. The formula for distance, if you know time (duration) and the average speed, is: d = v x t. where v is the velocity (average speed), t is the time and d is distance, so you can read it as Distance = Speed x Time. The result will depend on the unit of the speed metric, for example if speed is given in mph,

Explanation:

A (m 1 ,n 1) and B (m 2 ,n 2) are the coordinates of the two given points in the coordinate plane.

The distance between the two points can be calculated using the distance formula, d = √ (m2 - m1)2 + (n2 - n1)2

Finally, express the given solution in proper units.
