Question

Calculate the distance between (-2 - 5i) and (1 + 3i)

Answer 1

Answer:

d = sqrt(73)

d is approximately 8.544003745

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the distance we use the formula

d = sqrt ( (x2 -x1)^2 + (y2-y1)^2)  

where x are the real coordinates and y is the imaginary coordinates

d = sqrt ( (1--2)^2 + (3--5)^2)  

d = sqrt ( (1+2)^2 + (3+5)^2)

d = sqrt ( (3)^2 + (8)^2)  

d = sqrt( 9+64)

d = sqrt(73)

d is approximately 8.544003745
