Question

Find the distance between two points: (5,3),(8,5)​

Answer 1

Answer:

$\displaystyle\boxed{\rm \: Distance= \underline{\underline{\sqrt{13}}}}$

OR in Decimal,

$\boxed{\rm \: Distance=\underline{\underline{3.605}}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Two points, that is (5,3) & (8,5)

To Find:

The Distance of the two given points

Solution:

To Find the distance between two points, we will use the distance formula, i.e. :

$\boxed{ \rm \: Distance = \sqrt{(x_2 - x_1) {}^{2} + (y_2 - y_1) {}^{2} } }$

According to the Question,

$\rightarrow \: \rm \: x_2 = 8$

$\rightarrow \: \rm \: x_1 = 5$

$\rightarrow \: \rm \: y_2 = 5$

$\rightarrow \: \rm \: y_1 = 3$

Now Substitute the values on the formula of Distance and then Simplify:

$\rm \: Distance= \sqrt{(8 - 5 )^{2} + (5 - 3) {}^{2} }$

[Follow PEMDAS rule while simplifying]

$\rm \: Distance= \sqrt{3 {}^{2} + 2 {}^{2} }$

$\rm \: Distance= \sqrt{(3 \times 3) + (2 \times 2)}$

$\rm \: Distance= \sqrt{9 + 4}$

$\rm \: Distance= \sqrt{13}$

$\rm \: Distance= {3.605}$

Hence, the distance between the two given points would be $\sqrt{13}$ or $3.605$.
