Solution 1

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

= `sqrt((4 - 2)^2 + (1 - 3)^2)`

 = `sqrt(2^2 + (- 2)^2)`

= `sqrt(4 + 4)`

= `sqrt(8)`

= `sqrt(4 × 2)`

= `2sqrt(2)` units

Solution 2

A (2, 3), B (4, 1)

Suppose the coordinates of point A are (x1, y1) and those of point B are (x2, y2).

x= 2, y1 = 3, x2 = 4, y2 = 1

According to distance formula,

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

d(A,B) = `sqrt((4 - 2)^2 + (1 - 3)^2)`

d(A,B) = `sqrt(2^2 + (- 2)^2)`

d(A,B) = `sqrt(4 + 4)`

d(A,B) = `sqrt(8)`

d(A,B) = `sqrt(4 × 2)`

d(A,B) = `2sqrt(2)`

The distance between points A and B is `2sqrt(2)` units.
