Question

The distance between B and C

Answer 1

The answer is

`√(13) \: \: or \: \: 3.6055 \: \: 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

B ( 3 , 1 ) and C( 6 , 3)

The distance between them is

`|BC| = \sqrt{( {3 - 6})^(2) + ({1 - 3})^(2) } \\ = \sqrt{ ({ - 3})^(2) + ( { - 2})^(2) } \\ = √(9 + 4)`

We have the final answer as

`√(13) \: \: or \: \: 3.6055 \: \: units`

Hope this helps you
