Question

What is the distance between two points with coordinates at (12,0) and (0,35

Answer 1

The distance formula is derived from the Pythagorean theorem. To find the distance between two points (x1,y1) and (x2,y2), all that you need to do is use the coordinates of these ordered pairs and apply the formula pictured below.

Answer 2

You entered the following points:

A = ( 12 , 0 )

B = ( 0 , 35 )

The distance between points A and B is :

d(A,B)=37

Explanation

To find distance between points A(xA,yA) and B(xB,yB),  use formula:

d(A,B)=(xB−xA)2+(yB−yA)2

In this example: xA=12 , yA=0 , xB=0 and yB=35 so:

d(A,B)d(A,B)d(A,B)=(0−12)2+(35−0)2

√=144+1225=37
