Question

Solve for the distance between (522, 1322) and (9000, -1337) to the third decimal.

Answer 1

A pair of coordinate always in a form (x, y)
Let (522, 1322) be (x₁, y₁) and (9000, -1337) be (x₂, y₂)

The distance between two coordinates is given by
Distance = $\sqrt{(x_1-x_2)^2+(y_1-y_2)^2}$
Distance = $\sqrt{(522-9000)^2+(1322--1337)^2}$
Distance = $\sqrt{(-8478)^2+(2659)^2}$
Distance = $\sqrt{78946765}$
Distance = 8885.200 (rounded to three decimal place)
