Question

find the distance between the points (5,6) and (7,8)​

Answer 1

Answer:

The distance between two points is √8 units.

Step-by-step explanation:

x₁ = 5 ; y₁ = 6 ; x₂ = 7 ; y₂ = 8

Using the distance formula,

$\sf{\longrightarrow}\:\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}$

$\sf{\longrightarrow}\:\sqrt{(7-5)^2+(8-2)^2}$

$\sf{\longrightarrow}\:\sqrt{4+4}$

$\sf{\longrightarrow}\:\sqrt{8}$ units

The distance between two points is √8 units.
