Question

To find the distance between (-2,-3) and (4,1), Peggy's teacher drew a diagram and marked blue lines to represent the legs of a right triangle. Peggy then used 42 and 62 to find the distance represented by the red segment. What distance did she find ?

Answer 1

distance between 2 points = pythagorean theorem
\[P(\theta) = \sqrt{(x2-x1)^2+(y2-y1)^2}\]

Answer 2

The answer is 4 radical 13
