Question

How do you find the distance between the points (0,2) and (3,0) on a graph?

Answer 1

Distance = `sqrt13`

Explanation:

The distance formulais: D = `sqrt((x_2 - x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2)`

In your question `x_2` is `3` and `x_1` is `0`. And `y_2` is `0` and `y_1` is `2`.
Substituting these values in the distance formula I get:

D= `sqrt((3-0)^2 +(0-2)^2)`

D= `sqrt((3)^2 +(-2)^2)`

D= `sqrt (9 + 4)`

Distance = `sqrt 13`
