Question

Find the distance between the two points.

✓ [?]
Enter the number that
goes beneath the
radical symbol.

Answer 1

The answer is

`√(17) \: \: \: 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

(-2 , 3) and ( 2 , 4 )

The distance between them is

`d = \sqrt{ ({ - 2 - 2})^(2) + ({ 3 - 4})^(2) } \\ = \sqrt{ ({ - 4})^(2) + ( { - 1})^(2) } \\ = √(16 + 1) \\ = √(17) \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \:`

We have the final answer as

`√(17) \: \: \: units`

Hope this helps you
