Explaination :

Here we would be using distance formula to calculate the distance between those two points.

Points are,

  • (-8,3)
  • (-2,5)

Distance Formula :


  • \huge \large \boxed{\sf{{d \: = \: \sqrt{(x _(2) - x _(1)) {}^(2) \: + \: (y _(2) - y _(1)) {}^(2) }}}} \: \red\bigstar

We have :

  • x1 = -8
  • x2 = -2
  • y1 = 3
  • y2 = -5

Substituting the values :

  • Refer the attachment.

Additional Information :

Centroid of a triangle :-


  • \boxed{ \sf{Centroid \: = \: (x_1 \: + \: x_2 \: + \: x_3)/(3) }} \: \pink\bigstar

Midpoint of two points:-


  • \boxed{ \sf{M \: = \: (x_1 \: + \: x_2 )/(2) \: , \: (y_1 \: + \: y_2 )/(2)}} \: \pink\bigstar
