Question

Find the distance between the points (a1, b1) and (a2, b2).

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Let there be point X whose coordinates are (a2,b2) and point Y whose coordinates are (a1,b1)

Using distance formula ,

$\sqrt{ ({a}^{2} - {a}^{1}) + ( {b}^{2} - {b}^{1} ) }$

$where \: {a}^{2 } > {a}^{1} \: and \: \: {b}^{2} > {b}^{1}$

$If \: {a}^{1} > {a}^{2} \: and \: {b}^{1}>{b}^{2}$

Distance formula will be

$\sqrt{({a}^{1} - {a}^{2}) + ({b}^{1} - {b}^{2})}$
