Question

Find the distance between the points (–9, 0) and (2, 5). Find the distance between the points (–9, 0) and (2, 5).

Answer 1

sqrt( 146)

Explanation:

To find the distance, we use the following formula

d = sqrt( ( x2-x1) ^2 + ( y2-y1) ^2)

sqrt( ( -9-2) ^2 + ( 0-5) ^2)

sqrt( ( -11) ^2 + ( -5) ^2)

sqrt( 121+25)

sqrt( 146)
