Question

If the distance between the points (4, p) and (1, 0) is 5 units, then the value of p.
(3marks)

Answer 1

we know that, the distance between two points is given by:

5 = √(1-4)^2+(0-p)^2

25 = (-3)^2+p^2

25 - 9 = p^2

16 = p^2

p = -+4

the required value of p is -+4.

Answer 2

Answer:

the required value of p is -+4
