Question

Find the distance between the following points using the Pythagorean theorem: (-5, 4) and (8, -3)

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

D = √ (x2 - x1)² + (y2 - y1)²

Here x2 = 8 , x1 = -5 and y2= -3 , y1 = 4

D = √(8+5) ² + (-3-4) ²

=> √(13) ² + (-7) ² = √169 + 49

=> √ 218 or approximately 14.7648231
