Question

Find the distance between the two points (-4,4) and (1,0)

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer is

$\sqrt{41} \: \: \: units$

Step-by-step explanation:

The distance between two points can be found by

$\sqrt{ ({x _{1} - x_{2} })^{2} + ({y_{1} } - y_{2} )^{2} }$

where

( x1 , y1) and ( x2 , y2) are the points

So the distance between (-4,4) and (1,0) is

$\sqrt{( { - 4 - 1})^{2} + ( {4 - 0})^{2} }$

$= \sqrt{ ({ - 5})^{2} + {4}^{2} }$

$= \sqrt{25 + 16}$

We have the final answer as

$\sqrt{41} \: \: \: units$
