Question

Find the distance between (1, 0) and (9, 15) using the Distance Formula.

Answer 1

17 units

Explanation:

D=√((x2 – x1)² + (y2 – y1)²)

• x2 = 9
• x1 = 1
• y2 = 15
• y1 = 0

D = √((9- 1²) +( 15 -0)²)

• D = √64 +225
• D = √ 289
• D = ±17; Distance is scalar
• D = 17

Answer 2

Answer: Distance = 17
