Question

Find the distance between the points (1, 7) and (10, 1)
Please help:)

Answer 1

The distance between the points (1, 7) and (10, 1) is 10.82 units

Explanation:

Distance between two points

The distance between points A(x,y) B(w,z) can be calculated with the formula:

`d=√((z-y)^2+(w-x)^2)`

We are given the points (1,7) and (10,1), let's use their values and compute the required distance:

`d=√((1-7)^2+(10-1)^2)`

`d=√((-6)^2+(9)^2)`

`d=√(36+81)=√(117)\approx 10.82`

The distance between the points (1, 7) and (10, 1) is 10.82 units
