Question

Find the distance between ( 1,2 and ( 7 , 2 ) .

Answer 1

We are to find the distance between two points.

The formula to be used is;

$\sqrt[]{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}$

Where x1 = 1, x2 = 7, y1 = 2 and y2= 2

$\begin{gathered} \sqrt[]{(7-1)^2+(2-2)^2} \\ \sqrt[]{6^2+0^2} \\ \sqrt[]{36} \\ 6\text{ units} \end{gathered}$
