Find the distance between the given points

Question

(3, 5) and (8, 2)

(8-3)^2 + (2-5)^2

5^2 + -3^2

25 + 9 = 34 sqrt of 34 = 5.83

Answer 1

your presentation is considered "poor form"

Proper way:

distance = √((8-3)^2 + (2-5)^2 )
= √( 5^2 + (-3)^2)
= √(25+9)
= √34

Answer 2

Reiny,

I know that my presentation is poor form. I only know how to work this in MS Word the right way. Is my answer supposed to d=sqrt 34 or d=5.83?

Answer 3

Same thing, after rounding off. I would prefer the exact answer of Reiny
