Question

What is the distance between the points (2 3) and (-3 -2)

Answer 1

Answer:

Distance formula:

$\sqrt{ {(x2 - x1)}^{2} + {(y2 - y1)}^{2} }$

$= \sqrt{ {(2 - ( - 3))}^{2} + {(3 - ( - 2))}^{2} }$

$= \sqrt{ {(2 + 3)}^{2} + {(3 + 2)}^{2} }$

$= \sqrt{25 + 25} = \sqrt{50} = 5 \sqrt{2} units$
