Question

Find the distance between the following points

1.A(0,0). ,B(-5,12)

Answer 1

Answer :-

• The distance between AB is 13 units.

Given :-

• Two points A(0 , 0) and B(-5 , 12).

To Find :-

• Distance between them.

Solution :-

Here

• x1 = 0
• y1 = 0
• x2 = -5
• y2 = 12

As we know that

• Distance between two points is

√[(x2 - x1)² + (y2 - y1)²

Put the values in the formula

Now

⇒ Distance AB = √[(-5 - 0)² + (12 - 0)²]

⇒ Distance AB = √[(-5)² + (12)²]

⇒ Distance AB = √[ 25 + 144 ]

⇒ Distance AB = √169

⇒ Distance AB = 13 units

Hence, the distance between AB is 13 units.
