Question

If the distance between the points (4,p) and (1,0) is 5,then the value of p is

Answer 1

Answer:+4,-4

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

ANSWER :

The value of p is ±4

EXPLANATION :

Distance formula = √(x1-x2) ²+(y1-y2)²

5 = √(4-1)²+(p-0)²

5 = √3²+p²

Squaring both sides,

5² = 3²+p²

25 = 9+p²

25-9 = p²

p²=16

p = ±4
