Question

What is the distance between (-5,6) and (4, 2)?

Answer 1

Answer:

9.85 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the distance between given points be d.

$\therefore \: d = \sqrt{ {( - 5 - 4)}^{2} + (6 - 2)^{2} } \\ \hspace{16 pt} = \sqrt{ {( - 9)}^{2} + (4)^{2} } \\ \hspace{16 pt} = \sqrt{ {81} + 16 } \\ \hspace{16 pt} = \sqrt{97 } \\ \hspace{16 pt}= 9.8488578 \\ \red{ \bold{ \therefore \: d =9.85 \: units }}$
