Question

find the distance of the points A (8,-3(
and B(0.9) using distance formula​

Answer 1

The distance between the two points is 4√13.

The distance between two points is the length of a straight line segment that links them.

The distance of a point from a line is the length of the shortest line segment from the point to the line.

This will also be perpendicular to the line.

Distance between two points P(x1,y1) and Q(x2,y2) is given by: d(P, Q) = √ (x2 − x1)2 + (y2 − y1)2 {Distance formula}

2. Distance of a point P(x, y) from the origin is given by d(0,P) = √ x2 + y2.

Hence, the distance of the points A (8,-3(

and B(0.9) is,

√ (0− 8)2 + (-3− (-9))2 = 4 √3
