Question

HELPPPP PLS!! TY

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

as you can see, the distance between 2 points can always be seen as the Hypotenuse or baseline of a right-angled triangle created by the differences of the x and y coordinates of both points.

the drawn triangle is nothing else than that.

to calculate the length of a side in such a triangle we need to use Pythagoras :

c² = a² + b²

c is the Hypotenuse of baseline of the triangle and is opposite of the 90 degree angle.

a and b are the legs of the triangle "enclosing" the 90 degree angle.

so, we have

AB² = AC² + BC²

AC and BC we know : the coordinate differences in x and y directions.

AC = (4, 5) to (4, 2). as the x coordinates are the same, the difference is just the difference in the y coordinates : 5-2 = 3.

BC = (1, 2) to (4, 2). as the y coordinates are the same, the difference is just the difference in the x coordinates : 5-1 = 3.

AB² = 3² + 3² = 9 + 9 = 18

AB = sqrt(18)

FYI : sqrt(18) = sqrt(9×2) = 3×sqrt(2)
