Question

Find the distance between points (157, -34) and -238, 21)

Answer 1

395 spaces down and 55 spaces to the left.

Answer 2

we are given two points as

(157, -34) and (-238, 21)

Let's assume two points as

$(x_1,y_1)=(157,-34)$

so,

$x_1=157$

$y_1=-34$

$(x_2,y_2)=(-238,21)$

$x_2=-238$

$y_2=21$

now, we can use distance formula

$d=\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}$

now, we can plug values in the formula

$d=\sqrt{(-238-157)^2+(21+34)^2}$

$d=\sqrt{(-395)^2+(55)^2}$

now, we can simplify it

$d=5\sqrt{6362}$

$d=398.81073$.............Answer
