Question

Find the distance between the two points.

Answer 1

Answer: The result should be d = $\sqrt{29}$ or d = 5.385

Step-by-step explanation:

-To find the distance between two points, you need the distance formula:

$d=\sqrt{(x_{2}-x_{1})^2+(y_{2}-y_{1})^2}$ where there is $(x_{1},y_{1})$ and $(x_{2}, y_{2})$ on the formula.

-So, you place those both points (2, 4) and (7, 2) onto that formula:

$d=\sqrt{(7-2)^2+(2-4)^2}$

-Then, you solve it:

$d=\sqrt{(7-2)^2+(2-4)^2}$

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

$d=\sqrt{25+4}$

$d = \sqrt{29} = 5.385$
