Given the points:
R ( 1, 0)
S ( 8, 6)
x1 = 1
x2 = 8
y1 = 0
y2 = 6
Determine the distance between the points.
Distance between two points formula:
d = √((x2 - x1)^2 + (y2 - y1)^2)
Solution:
Substitute the values of x1, x2, y1, and y2 to the distance formula.
d = √((x2 - x1)^2 + (y2 - y1)^2)
d = √((8 - 1)^2 + (6 - 0)^2)
d = √((7)^2 + (6 )^2)
d = √(49 + 36 )
d = √85
d = 9.22
Final answer:
d = 9.22
