what? i didnt get that. the distance formula isnt that short, i just forgot the formula and i know that its longer than that

OpenStudy (amistre64):

what distance are you trying to measure?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The distance formula between two different points

OpenStudy (amistre64):

\[\sqrt{(x-x_o)^2+(y-y_o)^2}\]

okay, thanks! :)

OpenStudy (amistre64):

if one point is the origin then its just the solution the the hypotenuse ofthe pythag thrm

OpenStudy (anonymous):

mmk..thanks

distance between \[(x_1,y_1)\]and \[(x_2,y_2)\] is \[\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}\]
