Question

Find the distance between the points (4,1) and (2,4) using distance formula

Answer 1

Given:-

`(4,1)(2,4)`

To find the distance.

So the distance formula is,

`d=√((x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2)`

Substituting we get,

`\begin{gathered} d=√((2-4)^2+(4-1)^2) \\ d=√(-2^2+3^2) \\ d=√(4+9) \\ d=√(13) \end{gathered}`

So the required distance is root 13.
