Find the distance between the points A(2, 1) and B(0, 1)
Answers
Step-by-step explanation:
2 sq. units is the correct answer for the given question
Step-by-step explanation:
Given :-
The points A(2, 1) and B(0, 1)
To find :-
Find the distance between the points A(2, 1) and B(0, 1) ?
Solution:-
Method -1:-
Given points are A(2, 1) and B(0, 1)
Let (x1, y1)=(2,1)=>x1 = 2 and y1=1
Let (x2, y2)=(0,1)=>x2=0 and y2=1
We know that
The distance between two points (x1, y1) and
(x2, y2) is √[(x2-x1)^2+(y2-y1)^2] units
On Substituting these values in the above formula
=> AB = √[(0-2)^2+(1-1)^2] units
=> AB = √[(-2)^2+0^2]
=>AB = √(4+0)
=> AB =√4
=> AB = 2 units
Method-2:-
Given points are A(2, 1) and B(0, 1)
Here, coordinates of y are same
We know that
The distance between two points (x1, y1) and (x2,y1) is | x2-x1 | units
Where x1 = 2 and x2 = 0
=> AB = | 0-2 |
=>AB = |-2|
=> AB = 2 units
Answer:-
The distance between two points A and B is 2 units
Used formulae:-
- The distance between two points (x1, y1) and
- (x2, y2) is √[(x2-x1)^2+(y2-y1)^2] units
- The distance between two points (x1, y1) and (x2,y1) is | x2-x1 | units
