Question

Find the distance from the point (4,2) to the point (0,1).

Answer 1

4.123 units

Explanation:

Data provided:

Coordinates of point 1 as ( 4 , 2)

and,

Coordinates of point 2 as ( 0 , 1 )

Now,

The distance between the two point whose coordinates are given is calculated using the formula as:

distance =
`√((x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2)`

on substituting the values, we get

distance =
`√((0-4)^2+(1-2)^2)`

or

distance =
`√((-4)^2+(-1)^2)`

or

distance =
`√(16+1)`

or

Distance = √17 = 4.123 units
