on the standard coordinate plane, what is the distance between points (8,4) and (3,2)

Answer 1

Hey Andy, the distance between two point is calculated by using a simple formula

Note down:

The distance between two points : square root of ((x2 - x1)^2 + (y2 - y1)^2)

Given : ( 8 , 4 ) ( 3 , 2 )

(x1,y1) (x2,y2)

Distance= square root of ((x2 - x1)^2 + (y2 - y1)^2)

square root of ((3 - 8)^2 + (2 - 4)^2)

square root of ( (-5)^2 + (-2)^2 )

square root of ( 25 + 4 )

Distance= square root of ( 29 )
