Question

Find the distance between (0,4) and (3,-1)

Answer 1

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Calculate the distance (d) using the distance formula

d = √ (x₂ - x₁ )² + (y₂ - y₁ )²

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (0, -4) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (3, - 1)

d = $\sqrt{(3-0)^2+(-1+4)^2}$

  = $\sqrt{3^2+ 3^2}$

  = $\sqrt{9+9}$

  = $\sqrt{18}$ = 3$\sqrt{2}$ ≈ 4.24 ( to 2 dec. places )
