Use the distance formula
OpenStudy (jlg030597):
yah agreed.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Err- I don't know how..
OpenStudy (anonymous):
if you don't know the distance formula, make the points on a graph, make a triangle and solve for the hypotenuse with pythagorean's theorem

Use the Pythagorean theorem

use a ruler :)
OpenStudy (anonymous):
im confused
OpenStudy (jlg030597):
Lol thats always fun too love doing that
OpenStudy (amistre64):
if you plot them on graph paper, then you can use the graph paper itself as the ruler ...
OpenStudy (jlg030597):
yup just plot the points

distance formula : d = sq rt (x2 - x1)^2 + (y2 - y1)^2
(2,2) x1 = 2 and y1 = 2
(8,10) x2 = 8 and y2 = 10
now sub
d = sq rt (2 - 8)^2 + (10 - 2)^2
d = sq rt (-6^2) + (8^2)
d = sq rt (36 + 64)
d = sq rt (100)
d = 10
do you understand ?
