Question

Find the distance between the following points:

A(3, 4) and B(5, 2)

Answer 1

Given: A(3, 4) and B(5, 2)

Distance formula: `sqrt((x_2 - x_1)^2 + (y_2 - y_1)^2` 

= `sqrt((5 - 3)^2 + (2 - 4)^2`

= `sqrt(2^2 + (-2)^2`

= `sqrt(4 + 4)`

= `sqrt(8)`

= `2sqrt(2)`

Distance AB = `2sqrt(2)` units.
