Question

Find the distance d. (2,4) and (7,2)

Answer 1

The answer is d =
`√(29)`

Explanation:

To find the distance, use the distance formula.

d =
`\sqrt{(x1 - x1)^(2) + (y1 - y2)^(2)  }`

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

d =
`\sqrt{(5)^(2) + (-2)^(2)  }`

d =
`√(25 + 4 )`

d =
`√(29)`
