Question

Distance between two points: what is the distance between 2, -3 and 8, -9?

Answer 1

The distance between 2 and -3 is 5, and the distance between 8 and -9 is 17

Answer 2

6sqrt(2) units

Explanation:

Distance² = (-9 - -3)² + (8 - 2)²

Distance² = (-6)² + 6²

Distance² = 36 + 36

Distance² = 72

Distance = 6sqrt(2)

sqrt: square root
