Question

Find the distance between each set of points 7,3 and 6,4

Answer 1

`d = √(2)`

Explanation:

Use the distance formula:
`d = \sqrt{(x_(2) -x_(1) )^(2) + (y_(2) -y_(1) )^(2)}`

1. Fill in the values:

`d = \sqrt{(7 -6 )^(2) + (3 - 4)^(2)}`

2. Subtract inside the parenthesis:

`d = \sqrt{(1)^(2) + (-1 )^(2)}`

3. Simplify:

`d = √(1 + 1)`

`d = √(2)`

The distance between the points is
`d = √(2)`
