Question

What’s the distance between (3,4) , (7,2)

Answer 1

`D= 4.47`

Explanation:

Here we are given with two coordinates and asked to determine the distance between them.

Here we are going to use the distance formula, which is given as under

`D=√((y_2-y_1)^2+(x_2-x_1)^2)`

Where

`(x_1,y_1) = (3,4)`

`(x_2,y_2) = (7,2)`

Replacing these values in the distance formula

`D =√((7-3))^2+(2-4)^2)`

`D =√((4)^2+(-2)^2)`

`D =√(16+4)`

`D =√(20)`

`D= 4.47`
