Question

What’s the distance between (3,4) , (7,2)

Answer 1

Answer:

$D= 4.47$

Step-by-step explanation:

Here we are given with two coordinates and asked to determine the distance between them.

Here we are going to use the distance formula, which is given as under

$D=\sqrt{(y_2-y_1)^2+(x_2-x_1)^2}$

 

Where

$(x_1,y_1) = (3,4)$

$(x_2,y_2) = (7,2)$

 

Replacing these values in the distance formula

$D =\sqrt{(7-3))^2+(2-4)^2}$

$D =\sqrt{(4)^2+(-2)^2}$

$D =\sqrt{16+4}$

$D =\sqrt{20}$

$D= 4.47$
