Find the distance between the points (-9,0) and (2,5)

1 Answer

5 votes

Answer:

sqrt(146)

Explanation:

The distance between these two points can be the hypotenuse of our right triangle.

We can create a right triangle with two legs of length 11 and 5. To solve for the hypotenuse, we apply the pythagorean theorem

sqrt(5^2+11^2)=sqrt(146)

I attached a graph to help you visualize the triangle and how it works.
