Question

Find the distance from the point (4,2) to the point (0,1).

Answer 1

Answer:

4.123 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Data provided:

Coordinates of point 1 as ( 4 , 2)

and,

Coordinates of point 2 as ( 0 , 1 )

Now,

The distance between the two point whose coordinates are given is calculated using the formula as:

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

on substituting the values, we get

distance = $\sqrt{(0-4)^2+(1-2)^2}$

or

distance = $\sqrt{(-4)^2+(-1)^2}$

or

distance = $\sqrt{16+1}$

or

Distance = √17 = 4.123 units
