Question

Find the distance between the points given. (-3, 2) and (9, -3) A √37 B √61 C 13​

Answer 1

Answer:

$\huge{ \fbox{ \sf{13 \: units}}}$

Option C is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

$\star{ \sf{ \: Let \: the \: points \: be \: a \: and \: b}}$

$\star{ \sf{ \: let \: A(-3, 2) \: be \: (x1 \:, y1) \: and \: B(9, -3) \: be \: (x2 \:, y2) }}$

$\underline{ \sf{Finding \: the \: distance \: between \: the \: given \: points}} :$

$\boxed{ \sf{Distance = \sqrt{ {(x2 - x1)}^{2} + {(y2 - y1)}^{2} } }}$

$\mapsto{ \sf{ \sqrt{ {(9 - ( - 3))}^{2} + {( - 3 - 2)}^{2} } }}$

$\mapsto{ \sf{ \sqrt{ {(9 + 3)}^{2} + {( - 3 - 2)}^{2} }}}$

$\mapsto{ \sf{ \sqrt{ {(12)}^{2} + {( - 5)}^{2} } }}$

$\mapsto{ \sf{ \sqrt{144 + 25}}}$

$\mapsto{ \sf{ \sqrt{169} }}$

$\mapsto{ \sf{ \sqrt{ {(13)}^{2} } }}$

$\mapsto{ \sf{ 13 \: units}}$
