Answer:
13.72units
Explanation:
Given parameters:
Coordinates of the two points = (-5.2, 7) and (3,- 4)
Unknown:
Distance between the two points = ?
Solution:
To find the distance between two points, we use the mathematical expression below;
D = [tex]\sqrt{(x_{2}-x_{1} )^{2} + (y_{2} - y_{1} )^{2} }[/tex]
From the given coordinates;
x₁ = -5.2 x₂ = 3
y₁ = 7 y₂ = -4
Now; input the parameters and solve;
D = [tex]\sqrt{[3-(-5.2)]^{2} + (-4 -7)^{2} }[/tex] = [tex]\sqrt{67.24 + 121}[/tex] = 13.72units
The distance between the two points is 13.72units
