Question

How do you find the distance of ( 9, 5 ) and ( 6, 5 )?

Answer 1

`d=3`

Explanation:

You could find the distance by using the formula:

`d=sqrt((x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2)`

but the points have the same y-coordinate, so you can reduce the operations by simply calculating

`d=|x_2-x_1|`

so `d=3`
