Question

Find the distance between (6,6) and (10,9) ?

Answer 1

5 units

Explanation:

to work out the distance between two points you will need to use the distance formula:

`\sqrt{(x1-x2)^(2)+(y1 - y2)^(2) }`

the x1 refers to the x coordinate in the first bracket, the x2 refers to the x coordinate in the second bracket, etc.

insert the coordinates put the equation into your calculator:

`\sqrt{(6-10)^(2)+(6-9)^(2) }` = 5

therefore, the distance between points (6,6) and (10,9) is 5 units.
