Question

If A= (0,0) and B = (2,5) what is the appropriate length of AB

Answer 1

Answer:

$\sqrt{29}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the distance formula. $\sqrt{(x_{2}-x_{1})^{2}+(y_{2}-y_{1})^{2}}$

Plug in the coordinates into the equation. $\sqrt{(2-0)^{2}+(5-0)^{2}}$

Solve the distance formula. $\sqrt{(2)^{2}+(5)^{2}}$ --> $\sqrt{4+25}$ --> $\sqrt{29}$

Answer 2

Answer:

Use the formula for the distance between two points: d = √((x2 – x1)2 + (y2 – y12))

Step-by-step explanation:

d = √((5 – 0)2 + (2 – 0)2

d = √(25 + 4) = √(29) ≈ 5.385
