Question

Find the distance d. (2,4) and (7,2)

Answer 1

Answer:

$\large\boxed{d=\sqrt{29}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula of a distance between two points:

$d=\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}$

We have the points (2, 4) and (7, 2). substitute:

$d=\sqrt{(7-2)^2+(2-4)^2}=\sqrt{5^2+(-2)^2}=\sqrt{25+4}=\sqrt{29}$
