Question

Find the distance between points (2,5) and (-2,2)

Answer 1

5

Explanation:

Let :

x(1) be 2

y(1) be 5

x(2) be -2

y(2) be 2

We know that distance between any 2 points is equal to:-

`\sqrt{{(x(2) - x(1) )}^(2) + ({y(2) - y(1))}^(2) }`

So using the above formula ,

`\sqrt{ {( - 2 - 2)}^(2) + {(2 - 5)}^(2) }`

`= > \sqrt{ {( - 4)}^(2) + {( - 3)}^(2) }`

`= > √(16 + 9)`

`= > √(25) = 5`
