Question

What is the distance from (8,3) and (3,1) on the coordinate plane?

Answer 1

C

Explanation:

Calculate the distance d using the distance formula

d = √ (x₂ - x₁ )² + (y₂ - y₁ )²

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (8, 3) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (3, 1)

d =
`√((3-8)^2+(1-3)^2)`

=
`√((-5)^2+(-2)^2)`

=
`√(25+4)`

=
`√(29)` → C
