Question

What is the distance between the points (3, 12) and (14, 2)?

Answer 1

The answer is 14.866

Answer 2

Answer:

√221 or 14.866

Step-by-step explanation:

The distance formula is

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

Using our coordinates, we have

$d=\sqrt{(12-2)^2+(3-14)^2}\\\\=\sqrt{10^2+(-11)^2}\\\\=\sqrt{100+121}\\\\=\sqrt{221}\approx 14.866$
