Question

Find the distance between two points (5,10) and (-4,6)​

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

The formula for calculating the distance between two points is:

d

=

√

(

Substituting the values from the points in the problem gives:

d

=

√

(

d = √ ( − 3 ) 2+ 1 2

d = √ 9+ 1

d = √ 10

Or

d = 3.162
