Question

The distance between points (1, 1) and (4, 7) is 6.71. is it true or false

Answer 1

To determine whether the statement is true or false, we need to calculate for the distance of the two points. To do this, we can use the pythagorean theorem as follows:

d = √[(y2-y1)^2 + (x2-x1)^2]
d = √[(7-1)^2 + (4-1)^2]
d = √[(6)^2 + (3)^2]
d = 2√13 = 7.21

Therefore, the statement is false.
