Question

What is the distance between the points A(3, 8) and B(&ndash;2, &ndash;7)?

Accepted Answer

5&radic;2 — The distance between two points (x 1 , y 1 ) and (x 2 , y 2 ) is given as ( x 2 - x 1 ) 2 + ( y 2 - y 1 ) 2 Hence, required distance = ( - 2 - 3 ) 2 + ( - 7 - 8 ) 2 = 5&radic;10. Hence, option (c).
