Question

5) Find the distance between two points: (1,4) and (0,5). Simplify completely. Show all work.

Answer 1

$\text {Distance = } \sqrt{(Y_2-Y_1)^2 + (X_2-X_1)^2}$

$\text {Distance = } \sqrt{(5-4)^2 + (0-1)^2}$

$\text {Distance = } \sqrt{(1)^2 +( 1)^2}$

$\text {Distance = } \sqrt2}$

$\text {Distance = } 1.41 \ units$
