Adams house, the local park and the nearest hospital are mapped on a coordinate plane. What’s distance between Adams house and the hospital? Please help thank you
Answer:
[tex]d=\sqrt{106}\ units[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
We know that
the formula to calculate the distance between two points is equal to
[tex]d=\sqrt{(y2-y1)^{2}+(x2-x1)^{2}}[/tex]
Let
[tex]A(-4,2)[/tex] -----> Adam's house
[tex]B(5,7)[/tex] -----> Hospital
substitute the values
[tex]d=\sqrt{(7-2)^{2}+(5+4)^{2}}[/tex]
[tex]d=\sqrt{(5)^{2}+(9)^{2}}[/tex]
[tex]d=\sqrt{106}\ units[/tex]
