Question

What is the distance between (4, 7)(4,7)left parenthesis, 4, comma, 7, right parenthesis and (2, 2)(2,2)left parenthesis, 2, comma, 2, right parenthesis? Choose 1 answer: Choose 1 answer: (Choice A) A \sqrt{10} 10 ​ square root of, 10, end square root (Choice B) B \sqrt{29} 29 ​ square root of, 29, end square root (Choice C) C 888 (Choice D) D 99

Answer 1

Choice B) B \sqrt{29} 29 ​ square root of, 29, end square root = √29

Explanation:

When given coordinates, the distance between those points(coordinates) is calculated as:

Distance = √(x2 - x1)² +(y2 - y1)²

Given(x1, y1), (x2, y2)

Fromm the question, we are given points(4,7) and (2,2)

Distance = √(x2 - x1)² +(y2 - y1)²

= √(2 - 4)² + (2 - 7)²

= √-2² + -5²

= √4 + 25

= √29

Therefore, Choice B is the answer = √29
