Question

PLS HELP ASAP calculate the distance between the two points. (18, -24) & (87, 100)

Answer 1

The answer is 141.90 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

(18, -24) & (87, 100)

The distance between them is

`d = \sqrt{ ({18 - 87})^(2) + ({ - 24 - 100})^(2) } \\ = \sqrt{ ( { - 69})^(2) + ( { - 124})^(2) } \\ = √(4761 + 15376) \\ = √(20137) \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \\ = 141.90489773...`

We have the final answer as

141.90 units

Hope this helps you
