Question

What is the distance between (2, 0) and (5, 8)?

I'm horrible at the whole distance thing!

Answer 1

d = sqrt((x2-x1)^2+(y2-y1)^2)



d = sqrt((5-2)^2+( 8- 0)^2)



d = sqrt((3)^2+(8)^2)



d = sqrt(9+64)



d = sqrt(73)



So exact distance between the two points is sqrt(73) units.

Answer 2

thanks soo much jim_thompson5910!
