Find the distance between the points (3, 8) and (-1, 9).
want to use the distance formula or just think?
and so i got 21 \[\frac{ 3+(-1)}{ 2 },\frac{ 8+9 }{ }\] I want the formula it's much easier to think with it okay and i got 21as my asnwer
whoa hold the phone, this is not close
Uh shoot, how close is it? -6?
it is the distance you want right? not the midpoint
I have brewing in my mind that the answer should be \[\sqrt{15}\]
closer
but still no cigar
ayeeee
lets go slow (ish) how far from \(-1\) to \(3\) in the x direct, i.e. what is \((3-(-1)\)?
Okay so basically the question says Find the distance between the points (3, 8) and (-1, 9). adn so i looked back at the question u jsut helped me solve with OG and so i though i had to solv efor midpoint /:
formula (x2-x1)^2+(y2-y1)^2 = distance^2
^yea for mid point :3
so you were close with \(\sqrt{15}\) but it should be \[\sqrt{4^2\color{red}+1^2}\]
|dw:1463448950575:dw|
Oh let me try to solve that
Pythagorean theorem a^2+b^2 = c^2 to find the distance between any two points
Okay i got it
O, my bad
@satellite73 i got \[\sqrt{17}\]
