Question 2
David is planning a garden in his backyard, and he wants to incorporate various features in the space. He's using mathematical concepts to plan the layout efficiently. David wants to create a garden path that connects two points in his backyard. He needs to determine the length of the path.



Calculate the distance between the starting point (2, 5) and the ending point (8, 10).



Math Input:

Answer 1

Use the distance formula: d = sqrt((x2−x1)^2 + (y2−y1)^2).

d = sqrt((8 − 2)^2 + (10 − 5)^2) = sqrt(6^2 + 5^2) = sqrt(36 + 25) = sqrt(61) ≈ 7.81.

So the path length is sqrt(61) (about 7.81 units).
