Question

The distance between B and C

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer is

$\sqrt{13} \: \: or \: \: 3.6055 \: \: units$

Step-by-step explanation:

The distance between two points can be found by using the formula

$d = \sqrt{( {x1 - x2})^{2} + ({y1 - y2})^{2} }$

where

(x1 , y1) and (x2 , y2) are the points

From the question the points are

B ( 3 , 1 ) and C( 6 , 3)

The distance between them is

$|BC| = \sqrt{( {3 - 6})^{2} + ({1 - 3})^{2} } \\ = \sqrt{ ({ - 3})^{2} + ( { - 2})^{2} } \\ = \sqrt{9 + 4}$

We have the final answer as

$\sqrt{13} \: \: or \: \: 3.6055 \: \: units$

Hope this helps you
