Question

George calculated the distance between (2, 4) and (6, 3) using the distance formula. His work is shown below.

Analyze George’s work. Is he correct? If not, what was his mistake?
Yes, he is correct.
No, he substituted values in the wrong places.
No, he didn’t use the proper order of operations.
No, he evaluated the powers incorrectly.

Answer 1

Its A) Yes, he is correct.

Explanation:

Answer 2

draw it on a graph.
the distance between the x is |6-4| = 2
the distance between the y is |3-4| = 1
then use pythagoras a^2 + b^2 = c^2
2 squared add 1 squared = 5
root 5 is the distance.
