Question

What is the distance between 3, 5 and -4, 1

Answer 1

Distance = 8.06

Explanation:

We have to use the distance formula
`d=\sqrt{(x_(2)-x_(1))^(2) +(y_(2)-y_(1))^(2) }`.

`(x_(1),y_(1)) =` coordinates of the first point

`(x_(2),y_(2) ) =` coordinates of the second point

To solve, plug the appropriate values into the formula.

`d=\sqrt{(-4-3)^(2) +(1-5)^(2) } = √(65) = 8.062257748`
