Question

Calculate the distance between (4,9) and (-2,6) using the distance formula.

Answer 1

Answer:

$\large\boxed{d=3\sqrt5}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\text{the formula of a distance between two points}\ A(x_1,\ y_1)\ \text{and}\ B(x_2,\ y_2):\\\\|AB|=\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}\\=========================\\\\\text{We have}\ (4,\ 9)\ \text{and}\ (-2,\ 6).\ \text{Substitute:}\\\\d=\sqrt{(-2-4)^2+(6-9)^2}=\sqrt{(-6)^2+(-3)^2}=\sqrt{36+9}=\sqrt{45}\\\\\sqrt{45}=\sqrt{9\cdot5}=\sqrt9\cdot\sqrt5=3\sqrt5$
