find the distance between (2/3,4) and
(5/3,7)
a)3.16
b)4.24
c)3.46
d)10.06
2 answers
a)3.16
The difference in x-coordinates (5/3-2/3)=1
The difference in y-coordinates (7-4)=3
The distance between the two points is the same as the length of the diagonal of a right triangle with legs 1 and 3, namely
L=√(1²+3²)
=√10
=3.162...
