The required distance is the hypotenuse of a right triangle with sides of lengths [2 - (-1)] and [4 - (-3)] = 3 and 7 respectively. From the Pythagorean theorem, this distance is the square root of the sum of the squares of the lengths of each side, in this instance the square root of (9 + 49) or the square root of 58. There is no integral square root, but the decimal approximation is about 7.616 units.
8.54
Answer: 1
If you mean points of (1, -2) and (-9, 3) then the distance is about 11 units using the distance formula
since you know of one points and the halfway point between the other point. just multiply the halfway point by 2 and this is the total distance between the two points.
Points: (-1, -9) and (4, -2) Distance: (-1-4)2+(-9--2)2 = 74 and the square root of this is the distance which is about 8.602 to 3 decimal places
8.54
11 points
Answer: 1
Points: (-6, 1) and (-2, -2) Distance: 5 units
(3-1)2 + (5-8)2 = 13 and the square root of this is the distance between the points
Distance = (9-5)2+(-6-1)2 = 65 and the square root of this is the distance between the points which is about 8.062257748
The shortest distance between the two points is zero
If you mean points of (2, 4) and (-1, 8) then the distance works as 5
Different units for measuring distance are: 1.for distances on earth miles , kilometer, meter 2. Between galaxies - light year.
If you mean points of: (2, 1) and (14, 6) then the distance is 13
If you mean points of (1, -2) and (-9, 3) then the distance is about 11 units using the distance formula
If you mean points of (5, 5) and (1, 5) then the distance is 4
