Question

Explain the distance formula and calculate the distance between a(1,1) and b(7,-7)

Answer 1

The distance \(D\)between two points \((a,b)\) and \((c,d)\) is given by

\[D=\sqrt{(a-c)^2+(b-d)^2}\]

Answer 2

Which part do you not understand?

Answer 3

How to do the formula

Answer 4

Ok, I gave you the formula for points \((a,b)\) and \((c,d)\). Look at your points, what is \(a=?\)

Answer 5

what is \(b=?\)

Answer 6

and \(c\) and \(d\)?

Answer 7

I know how to plug the numbers in just don't understand how to solve it

Answer 8

ok so you have this


\(\sqrt{(7-1)^2+(-7-1)^2}\)?
