Question

Find the distance between points p (5, 1) and q (3,4)

Answer 1

Answer:

D=3.60

Step-by-step explanation:

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

Where

$(x_1,y_1) = (5,1)$

$(x_2,y_2) = (3,4)$

Replacing these values in the distance formula

$D =\sqrt{(5-3)^2+(1-4)^2}$

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

$D =\sqrt{4+9}$

$D =\sqrt{13}$

$D =\sqrt{13}$

$D= 3.60$
