Question

For the points P and Q, find the distance d(P,Q) of the segment PQ. (3,4) , ( 7,7)

Answer 1

`d=5`

Explanation:

Distance Formula:
`d=√((x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2)`

Simply plug in the 2 coordinates into the distance formula to find distance d:

`d=√((7-3)^2+(7-4)^2)`

`d=√((4)^2+(3)^2)`

`d=√(16+9)`

`d=√(25)`

`d=5`
