https://app148.studyisland.com/pics/pythag.2.png Find the distance between A and B

OpenStudy (snowsurf):

To find distance between two points you use the distance formula. \[A=(x1,y1)\]\[B=(x2,y2)\]\[D=\sqrt{(x2-x1)^{2}+(y2-y1)^{2}}\] Use these formulas and you will find the distance between the two points.

:\ Im still confused... @snowsurf

OpenStudy (snowsurf):

For point A look at its x and y coordinates and get those points and do the same for point B. Once you have their coordinates you can use the formula I gave you.

OpenStudy (snowsurf):

First show me the coordinates for point A

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-5,3? @snowsurf

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and B i think is 5,-3?

OpenStudy (snowsurf):

Great point A=(-5,3).. B=(5,-3).. Correct you go those.

OpenStudy (snowsurf):

Okay, now put those into the formula I gave you above.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok thank you very much!! @snowsurf

OpenStudy (snowsurf):

You welcome

OpenStudy (anonymous):

idk how but i got 3,025 @snowsurf

OpenStudy (snowsurf):

Can you show me your work. That is too large, maybe I can find the error

OpenStudy (snowsurf):

\[D=\sqrt{(-5-5 )^{2} + (-3-3)^{2}}\] Your setup should look like this.
