Find the distance between the following pairs of points:
(−5, 7), (−1, 3)
Find the distance between the following pairs of points:
P(-5, 7), Q(-1, 3)
Advertisements
Solution 1
Distance between (−5, 7) and (−1, 3) is given by
l = `sqrt((x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2)`
l = `sqrt((-5-(-1))^2 + (7 -3)^2)`
= `sqrt((-4)^2+(4)^2)`
= `sqrt(16+16) `
= `sqrt32`
= `4sqrt2` units
Solution 2
Let the co-ordinates of point P are (x1, y1) and of point Q are (x2, y2)
P(–5, 7) = (x1, y1)
Q(–1, 3) = (x2, y2)
PQ = `sqrt((x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2)` ...(By distance formula)
= `sqrt((-1-(-5))^2+(3-7)^2)`
= `sqrt((-1+5)^2+(-4)^2)`
= `sqrt(4^2+16)`
= `sqrt(16 + 16)`
= `sqrt32`
= `sqrt(16xx2)`
= `sqrt16xxsqrt2`
= 4`sqrt2` units

In a GPS, The lines that run east-west are known as lines of latitude, and the lines running north-south are known as lines of longitude. The latitude and the longitude of a place are its coordinates and the distance formula is used to find the distance between two places. The distance between two parallel lines is approximately 150 km.
