Question

Which expression shows the correct way to find the distance between (23,43) and (17,14) ?

Answer 1

I am pretty sure you subtract but in case it would be
(23,43) - (17,14).
(6,19) should be the answer

Answer 2

Answer:

$d=\sqrt{(14-43)^{2}+(17-23)^{2}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

the formula to calculate the distance between two points is equal to

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

In this problem we have

$A(23,43)\\B(17,14)$  

substitute the values

$d=\sqrt{(14-43)^{2}+(17-23)^{2}}$

$d=\sqrt{841+36}$

$d=\sqrt{877}\ units$
