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