Question

Calculate euclidean distance between two data points a(1,3) and b(2,3)

Answer 1

Euclidean Distance is the distance of the straight line between two points.

Formula:

$\text {Distance = } \sqrt{(Y_2 - Y_1)^2 + (X_2 - X_1)^2}$

Find the distance between a and b:

Given that the 2 points are a(1, 3) and b(2, 3)

$\text {Distance between a and b= } \sqrt{(3-3)^2 + (2-1)^2}$

$\text {Distance between a and b = } \sqrt{(0)^2 + (1)^2}$

$\text {Distance between a and b = } \sqrt{1}$

$\text {Distance between a and b = } 1 \text{ unit}$

Answer: The distance is 1 unit
