Question

Find the distance between points (157, -34) and -238, 21)

Answer 1

395 spaces down and 55 spaces to the left.

Answer 2

we are given two points as

(157, -34) and (-238, 21)

Let's assume two points as

`(x_1,y_1)=(157,-34)`

so,

`x_1=157`

`y_1=-34`

`(x_2,y_2)=(-238,21)`

`x_2=-238`

`y_2=21`

now, we can use distance formula

`d=√((x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2)`

now, we can plug values in the formula

`d=√((-238-157)^2+(21+34)^2)`

`d=√((-395)^2+(55)^2)`

now, we can simplify it

`d=5√(6362)`

`d=398.81073`.............Answer
