Question

The distance between the points (3, 0) and (0, –3) is ______.

विकल्प

• 3 units

• 6 units

• 0

• `3sqrt(2)` units

Answer 1

The distance between the points (3, 0) and (0, –3) is `underlinebb(3sqrt(2)  units`.

Explanation:

Use the distance formula

`d = sqrt((x_2 - x_1)^2 + (y_2 - y_1)^2` 

For (3, 0) and (0, –3): 

`d = sqrt((0 - 3)^2 + (-3 - 0)^2` 

= `sqrt(9 + 9)` 

= `sqrt(18)`

= `3sqrt(2)`
