Question

What is the distance between points (4,2) (6,-5)

Answer 1

Answer:

Exact form:

$\sqrt{53}$

Decimal Form:

7.280109889280518

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the distance formula to determine the distance between 2 points.

Distance = $\sqrt{(x_{2} -x_{1}) ^2+(y_{2} -y_{1}) ^2$

$\sqrt{6-4^2+(-5-2)^2$

$\sqrt{(2)^2+(-7)^2}$

$\sqrt{4+49}$

$\sqrt{53}$ ≈ 7.280109889280518
