Question

What is the distance between (4,2) and (8,5)

Answer 1

Answer:

The distance between points P1 = (4,2) and P2=(8,5)  is 5.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let P1 = (4,2) and P2=(8,5)

The distance between two points can be found using formula:

$d(P,Q), \sqrt{(x_{2}-x_{1})^2+ (y_{2}-y_{1})^2}$

where x₁ = 4 , x₂=8, y₁= 2 and y₂ = 5

Putting values in the formula

$=\sqrt{(8-4)^2+(5-2)^2} \\=\sqrt{(4)^2+(3)^2} \\=\sqrt{16+9} \\=\sqrt{25} \\=5$

So, the distance between points P1 = (4,2) and P2=(8,5)  is 5.
