Question

the distance between the point (0,5) (-5,0) is​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

it could be found by the distance formula

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

• consider a triangle made by connecting the points (0,5), (0,0), and (-5,0)
• You will find that the required distance forms the hypotenuse of the triangle(the triangle formed is a right triangle)

therefore the required length will be equal to

$\sqrt{base {}^{2} \ + altitude {}^{2} } = \sqrt{5 { }^{2} + 5 {}^{2} } = \sqrt{25 + 25 } = 2 \sqrt{25} = 2 \sqrt{5}$

Thus the length is 2√5

One can use many methods to approach this problem. Hope you understood this
