Question

What is the distance between the points (5,5) and (2,9)? Question 3 options: 5 units 25 units 36 units 6 units

Answer 1

Use distance formula:

d = √( (x₁ - x₂)² + (y₁ - y₂)² )

Here you have x₁ = 5, x₂ = 2, y₁ = 5, y₂ = 9

So that would be √( (5-2)² + (5-9)² ) = √( (3)² + (-4)² ) = √(9+16) = √25 = 5

Final answer: 5 units
