Question

point P is at (2,4) and point Q is at (3,4).find PQ

Answer 1

Use the Distance Formual.

Answer 2

Formula*

Answer 3

Is PQ referring to the distance or the line segment connecting P and Q?

Answer 4

i think distance

Answer 5

Its obviously 1, just draw those two points in a plane!

Answer 6

No need for distance formula either.

Answer 7

You can use the distance formula



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



In this case, x1=2, y1=4, x2=3, and y2=4.
Remember that the two generic points are (x1, y1) and (x2, y2)

So (x1, y1) = (2, 4), which means x1=2 and y1=4

and (x2, y2) = (3, 4), which means x2=3 and y2=4


-------------------



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



d = sqrt((3-2)^2+(4-4)^2)



d = sqrt((1)^2+(0)^2)



d = sqrt(1+0)



d = sqrt(1)



d = 1



So exact distance between the two points is 1 unit.

Answer 8

Or you can take the shortcut by noticing that they two points have the same y coordinate and just subtracting the x coordinates to find your answer
