Question

find the distance between the pair of points. if necessary, express answers in simplified radical form and then round to two decimal places.

(1,5) and (5,2)

the distance between the points is 5 units.
(simplify your answer. type an exact answer, using radicals as needed.)

express the distance rounded to two decimal places if the exact simplified answer contains radicals.

select the correct choice below and, if necessary, fill in the answer box to complete your choice.

a. the distance between the points is approximately 5 units.
(type an integer or decimal rounded to two decimal places as needed.)

b. the exact simplified form does not contain radicals.

Explanation:

Identify the coordinates

Using the Distance Formula knowledge point

$$ (x_1, y_1) = (1, 5), \quad (x_2, y_2) = (5, 2) $$
