Question

Find the distance between each pair of points E(-1, 0),F(12, 0)

Answer 1

The answer is

`13 \: \: units`

Explanation:

The distance between two points can be found by using the formula

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

where

(x1 , y1) and (x2 , y2) are the points

From the question the points are

E(-1, 0) and F(12, 0)

The distance between them is

`|EF| = \sqrt{ ({ - 1 - 12})^(2) + ({0 - 0})^(2) } \\ = \sqrt{ ({ - 13})^(2) } \\ = √(169)`

We have the final answer as

`|EF| = 13 \: \: units`
