Question 1: Find the distance between the points (1, 4) and (5, 1).Question 1 options:7525β7
Accepted Solution
A:
[tex]\bf ~~~~~~~~~~~~\textit{distance between 2 points} \\\\ (\stackrel{x_1}{1}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{4})\qquad (\stackrel{x_2}{5}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{1})\qquad \qquad d = \sqrt{( x_2- x_1)^2 + ( y_2- y_1)^2} \\\\\\ d=\sqrt{(5-1)^2+(1-4)^2}\implies d=\sqrt{4^2+(-3)^2} \\\\\\ d=\sqrt{16+9}\implies d=\sqrt{25}\implies d=5[/tex]
