Question

Find the distance between the points given.

(3, 4) and (4, 7)

Answer 1

There is a formula for finding distances using coordinates:

$d=\sqrt{(x_{2}- x_{1})^{2} + (y_{2}-y_{1})^{2} }$

Inserting your variables:

$d=\sqrt{(4- 3)^{2} + (7-4)^{2} }$

$d=\sqrt{(1 + 9)}$

$d=\sqrt{10}$

The answer is $\sqrt{10}$
