How do you find the distance between (4,2.5) and (2.5,3)?

2 Answers

sqrt(2.5)2.5

Explanation:

We have: (4, 2.5)(4,2.5) and (2.5, 3)(2.5,3)

=> d = sqrt((2.5 - 4)^(2) + (3 - 2.5)^(2))d=(2.54)2+(32.5)2

=> d = sqrt((- 1.5)^(2) + (0.5)^(2))d=(1.5)2+(0.5)2

=> d = sqrt(2.25 + 0.25)d=2.25+0.25

=> d = sqrt(2.5)d=2.5

Answer is d=d= 5sqrt0.150.1 .

Explanation:

Distance (d) =sqrt((x_2-x_1)+(y_2-y_1)=(x2x1)+(y2y1).
:.d=sqrt((4-2.5)^2+(2.5-3)^2) =sqrt((1.5)^2+(-0.5)^2) =sqrt(2.25+0.25) =sqrt2.50 =5sqrt0.1

:. d= 5sqrt0.1 (answer).
