A = (3, 1) and B = (7, -5) are two points on the Cartesian plane. Calculate the distance between these points?

Answer: 2√13
Explanation

Given points A(3, 1) and B(7, -5), let's calculate the distance using the distance formula:

Distance = √((x2 - x1)² + (y2 - y1)²)

= √((7 - 3)² + (-5 - 1)²)

= √((4)² + (-6)²)

= √(16 + 36)

= √52

= √(4 × 13)

= 2√13
