Question

Find the distance between points (2,5) and (-2,2)

Answer 1

Answer:

5

Step-by-step explanation:

Let :

x(1) be 2

y(1) be 5

x(2) be -2

y(2) be 2

We know that distance between any 2 points is equal to:-

$\sqrt{{(x(2) - x(1) )}^{2} + ({y(2) - y(1))}^{2} }$

So using the above formula ,

$\sqrt{ {( - 2 - 2)}^{2} + {(2 - 5)}^{2} }$

$= > \sqrt{ {( - 4)}^{2} + {( - 3)}^{2} }$

$= > \sqrt{16 + 9}$

$= > \sqrt{25} = 5$
