Question

What the the distance between the points 6,2 and 1,2

Answer 1

The distance is given by:

$\left(x_1,\:y_1\right) and \:\left(x_2,\:y_2\right)\rightarrow\left(6,\:2\right) and \:\left(1,\:2\right)$

$\sqrt{\left(x_2-x_1\right)^2+\left(y_2-y_1\right)^2} = \sqrt{\left(1-6\right)^2+\left(2-2\right)^2} = 5$
