What is the exact distance between points A and B? A. 11 units B. 85 units
Do you remember the formula for distance?
11 is my answer a
That doesn't seem to be correct.
\[d=\sqrt{(x _{2}-x _{1})^2+(y _{2}-y _{1})^2}\]
please hold while i use formula
Alright.
hint: we can write this: \[\begin{gathered} d = \sqrt {{{\left( {{x_2} - {x_1}} \right)}^2} + {{\left( {{y_2} - {y_1}} \right)}^2}} = \hfill \\ \hfill \\ = \sqrt {{{\left( { - 4 - \left( { - 2} \right)} \right)}^2} + {{\left( { - 4 - 5} \right)}^2}} = \hfill \\ \hfill \\ = \sqrt {{{\left( 2 \right)}^2} + {{\left( { - 9} \right)}^2}} = \sqrt {4 + 81} = ...? \hfill \\ \end{gathered} \]
4+-81=85 -77=85 8.774=9.219
hint: we get this: \[\begin{gathered} d = \sqrt {{{\left( {{x_2} - {x_1}} \right)}^2} + {{\left( {{y_2} - {y_1}} \right)}^2}} = \hfill \\ \hfill \\ = \sqrt {{{\left( { - 4 - \left( { - 2} \right)} \right)}^2} + {{\left( { - 4 - 5} \right)}^2}} = \hfill \\ \hfill \\ = \sqrt {{{\left( 2 \right)}^2} + {{\left( { - 9} \right)}^2}} = \sqrt {4 + 81} = \sqrt {85} \hfill \\ \hfill \\ \end{gathered} \] so the requested distance is \(d= \sqrt{85}\)
9.21
yes!
Oh, I didn't look at the answer choices C
that's right! It is option C)
Thanks @Binary and @Michele_Laino
:)
Yes. C is right. No problem. :)
