Answer 1

Given:

The points are M(6,16) and Z(-1,14).

To find:

The distance between given points.

Solution:

Distance formula:

$d=\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}$

So, the distance between two points M(6,16) and Z(-1,14) is

$d=\sqrt{(-1-6)^2+(14-16)^2}$

$d=\sqrt{(-7)^2+(-2)^2}$

$d=\sqrt{49+4}$

$d=\sqrt{53}$

$d=7.28011$

$d\approx 7.3$

Therefore, the distance between given points is 7.3 units.
