Two points in a rectangular coordinate system have the coord

Two points in a rectangular coordinate system have the coordinates (5.68, 2.28) and (2.23, 3.75), respectively, with centimeters as units. Determine the distance between these points.

Solution

here ,

(x1 , y1) = (5.68 , 2.28) cm

(x2, y2 ) = (-2.23 , 3.75) cm

Now, for distance between the points = sqrt((x2 - x1)^2 + (y2 - y1)^2)

distance between the points = sqrt((-2.23 - 5.68)^2 + (3.75 - 2.28)^2)

distance between the points = 8.05 cm

the distance between the points is 8.05 cm
