The Euclidean distance is sqrt{[-10 - (-4)]2 + [6 - (-4)]2}
=sqrt{62 + 102} = sqrt(36 + 100} = sqrt(136) = 11.66 (to 2 dp)
There can be other metrics defined on the space - the Minkovsky, or Manhattan metric, is one where the distance is the sum of the steps in the two orthogonal directions required to go from one point to the other. In this case that would be 6 + 10 = 16 units. (The name comes from the grid-like pattern of the Manhattan roads.)
If you mean points of (4, 5) and (10, 13) then the distance works out as 10
Points: (2, 2) and (8, -6) Distance: 10
10 units
(-10--2)2+(8--7)2 = 289 and the square root of this is 17 Therefore the distance is 17 units in length.
18 - (-10) = 18 + 10 = 28 units.
If the points are (3, 2) and (9, 10) then the distance works out as 10
10
The sq.root of 122+162=20
10
If you mean points of (4, 5) and (10, 13) then the distance works out as 10
Points: (2, 2) and (8, -6) Distance: 10
The distance between points can be calculated using Pythagoras: distance = √(change_in_x² + change_in_y²) → distance = √((4 - 10)² + (36 - 12)²) → distance = √((-6)² + (24)²) → distance = √(36 + 576) → distance = √612 → distance = 6 √17 ≈ 24.74 units.
The distance along a straight line is 10. Using the Pythagorean equation, c2 = a2 + b2 where the x change is 6 and the y change is 8, c2 = 62 + 82 = 36 + 64 = 100 c = [sqrt 100] = 10
If you mean points of: (-6, -10) and (2, 5) then it works out as 17
10 units
(-10--2)2+(8--7)2 = 289 and the square root of this is 17 Therefore the distance is 17 units in length.
If d is the distance between them, then d2 = (-6 -10)2 + (1 - (-8))2 = (-16)2 + 92 =256 + 81 = 337 so d = sqrt(337) = 18.36
