Question
Find the distance between the following pairs of points:
`(3/5,2) and (-(1)/(5),1(2)/(5))`
Advertisements
Solution
`(3/5,2) and (-(1)/(5),1(2)/(5))`
Distance between the given points
= `sqrt((-1/5 - 3/5)^2+(1 2/5 - 2)^2)`
= `sqrt((-4/5)^2+((7 - 10)/(5))^2)`
= `sqrt((16)/(25)+(9)/(25))`
= `sqrt((25)/(25)`
= 1
