Question

Find the distance between the two points.

(2,4), (7, 2)
The distance between the two points is
units.

Answer 1

5.3852

Explanation:

Answer 2

Answer: The result should be d =
`√(29)` or d = 5.385

Explanation:

-To find the distance between two points, you need the distance formula:

`d=\sqrt{(x_(2)-x_(1))^2+(y_(2)-y_(1))^2}` where there is
`(x_(1),y_(1))` and
`(x_(2), y_(2))` on the formula.

-So, you place those both points (2, 4) and (7, 2) onto that formula:

`d=√((7-2)^2+(2-4)^2)`

-Then, you solve it:

`d=√((7-2)^2+(2-4)^2)`

`d=√((5)^2+(-2)^2)`

`d=√(25+4)`

`d = √(29) = 5.385`
