Question

Find the distance between the two points in simplest radical form. (-9,5) and (0,0)

Answer 1

Answer:

$\sqrt{106}$ units

Step-by-step explanation:

Calculate the distance d using the distance formula

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

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (0, 0) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (- 9, 5)

d = $\sqrt{(-9-0)^2+(5-0)^2}$

   = $\sqrt{(-9)^2+5^2}$

   = $\sqrt{81+25}$

    = $\sqrt{106}$
