Question

What is the distance between the following points?

Answer 1

Answer:

A) 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the distance formula:

$d = \sqrt{(x_{2}-x_{1})^2 + (y_2-y_1)^2 }$

you can plug in both the points for

$d = \sqrt{(8-4)^2 + (5-2)^2}$

$d = \sqrt{(4)^2 + (3)^2}$

$d = \sqrt{16 + 9}$

$d = \sqrt{25}$

d = 5
