Question

question 8 of 10
to find the distance between any two points in the plane, you can always use
the distance formula.

a. true

b. false

Explanation:

The distance formula in a plane (for two points \((x_1,y_1)\) and \((x_2,y_2)\) is \(d = \sqrt{(x_2 - x_1)^2+(y_2 - y_1)^2}\), which is derived from the Pythagorean theorem. For any two points in a plane (Cartesian coordinate system), this formula can be applied to find the straight - line distance between them. So the statement "To find the distance between any two points in the plane, you can always use the distance formula" is true.

Answer:

A. True
