Question

What is the distance between `(–5, 13)` and # (4, 7) #?

Answer 1

Distance between `(-5,13)` and `(4,7)` is `10.817`

Explanation:

The distance between two points `(x_1,y_1)` and `(x_2,y_2)` is given by

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

Hence distance between `(-5,13)` and `(4,7)` is

`sqrt((4-(-5))^2+(7-13)^2)` or

`sqrt((4+5)^2+(-6)^2)` or

`sqrt(81+36)=sqrt117=10.817`
