Question

choose 1 answer:
a 12
b 13
c \\( \sqrt { 36 } \\)
d \\( \sqrt { 97 } \\)

Explanation:

Step1: Find the coordinates of the two points

The coordinates of the first point are \((2,4)\) and the coordinates of the second point are \((5, - 5)\).

Step2: Use the distance formula \(d=\sqrt{(x_2 - x_1)^2+(y_2 - y_1)^2}\)

Here \(x_1 = 2,y_1=4,x_2 = 5,y_2=-5\).
Substitute into the formula:
\[ \begin{align*} d&=\sqrt{(5 - 2)^2+(-5 - 4)^2}\\ &=\sqrt{3^2+(-9)^2}\\ &=\sqrt{9 + 81}\\ &=\sqrt{90} \end{align*} \]
Wait, no. Wait, another way: count the vertical and horizontal distances.
The horizontal distance \(h=\vert5 - 2\vert=3\), the vertical distance \(v=\vert-5 - 4\vert = 9\).
By Pythagorean theorem \(d=\sqrt{h^{2}+v^{2}}=\sqrt{3^{2}+9^{2}}=\sqrt{9 + 81}=\sqrt{90}\). Wait, no, wrong. Wait, no, wait the vertical distance from \(y = 4\) to \(y=-5\) is \(4-(-5)=9\) units, horizontal distance from \(x = 2\) to \(x = 5\) is \(3\) units.

Answer:

Step1: Find the coordinates of the two points

The coordinates of the first point are \((2,4)\) and the coordinates of the second point are \((5, - 5)\).

Step2: Use the distance formula \(d=\sqrt{(x_2 - x_1)^2+(y_2 - y_1)^2}\)

Here \(x_1 = 2,y_1=4,x_2 = 5,y_2=-5\).
