Question

The distance between the coordinates (8,3) and (5,7) is

Answer 1

Answer:

We know that the distance between the two points (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) is 

d=(x2−x1)2+(y2−y1)2 

Here, the given points are (8,3) and (8,−7), therefore,

d=(x2−x1)2+(y2−y1)2=(8−8)2+(−7−3)2=02+(−10)2=0+100=100=102=10  

Hence, the distance is 10 units.

Answer 2

Answer:

5 units

Step-by-step explanation:

$\sqrt{(8 - 5) {}^{2} + (7 - 3) {}^{2}}$

$\sqrt{3 {}^{2} + 4 {}^{2} } = \sqrt{25 } = 5$
