Question

What is the distance between (2,6) and (7, 6)?

Answer 1

Answer: 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Answer:

$Distance=5$

Step-by-step explanation:

The Distance between two points in coordinate geometry can be find by the Distance formula:

If we have two points $(x_1,y_1)$ and $(x_2,y_2)$

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

For points (2,6) and (7,6)

Putting the values in the formula:

                  $Distance =\sqrt{(7-2)^2+(6-6)^2} \\\\=\sqrt{5^2+0}\\ \\=\sqrt{25}$

     $Distance=\sqrt{5} *\sqrt{5}$

   $Distance=5$

The Distance between the two points is '5'
