Question

Find the distance between the two points.
​(2​,9​) and ​(-16​-71,​)

Answer 1

Explanation:

Hey there!!

The given points are A(2,9) and B(-16,71).

We simply use distance formula to find it.

`distance \: of \: ab = \sqrt{ {(x2 - x1)}^(2) + {(y2 - y1)}^(2) }`

Putting their values,

`ab = \sqrt{ {( - 16 - 2)}^(2) + {(71 - 9)}^(2) }`

simplify them.

`ab = √(324 + 3844)`

`ab = √(4168)`

Therefore, the distance between AB points is 64.56 units.

Hope it helps...
