AB =

Answer 1

Answer:

4 sqrt(5)

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the distance between 2 points we use the formula

d =sqrt( (x2-x1)^2 + (y2-y1)^2)

   = sqrt( (-3-5)^2 + (4-8)^2)

  = sqrt( (-8)^2 + (-4)^2)

  = sqrt( 64+16)

  = sqrt(80)

 = sqrt( 16*5)

 = sqrt(16) sqrt(5)

  = 4 sqrt(5)

Answer 2

Answer:

4√5

Step-by-step explanation:

The distance between two points A (xA, yA) and B (xB, yB) is calculated as follows:

distance = √((xA - xB)² + (yA - yB)²)

Point A is (5, 8) and point B is (-3, 4), then:

distance = √((5 - (-3))² + (8 - 4)²) = √(8² + 4²) = √80 = √(4²*5) = 4√5
