If a point A has coordinates (1,2) and point B has coordinates (9,8), what is the distance between points A and B?

Respuesta :

Distance between the 2 points is 10.

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:

10

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the distance formula to determine the distance between the two points.

[tex]\sqrt{(x2-x1)^2+(y2-y1)^2} \\[/tex]

Substitute the actual values of the points into the distance formula.

[tex]\sqrt{(9-1)^2+(8-2)^2}[/tex]

Simplify,

[tex]\sqrt{100}[/tex]

Rewrite

[tex]\sqrt{10^2}[/tex]

Pull terms out from under the radical, assuming positive real numbers.
