Question

What is the distance between `(–3, –2)` and `(1, 6)`?

Answer 1

Apply the distance formula to find that the distance between the two points is
`4sqrt(5)`

Explanation:

Applying the distance formula, we get

`"distance" = sqrt((1-(-3))^2 + (6-(-2))^2)`

`= sqrt(4^2 + 8^2)`

`= sqrt(80)`

`=4sqrt(5)`
