- Distance Formula: [tex]\displaystyle d = \sqrt{(x_2 - x_1)^2 + (y_2 - y_1)^2}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
*Note:
The distance formula is derived from the Pythagorean Theorem.
Step 1: Define
Identify
Point (5, 10)
Point (10, 12)
Step 2: Find distance d
- Substitute in points [Distance Formula]: [tex]\displaystyle d = \sqrt{(10 - 5)^2 + (12 -10)^2}[/tex]
- [√Radical] (Parenthesis) Subtract: [tex]\displaystyle d = \sqrt{5^2 + 2^2}[/tex]
- [√Radical] Evaluate exponents: [tex]\displaystyle d = \sqrt{25 + 4}[/tex]
- [√Radical] Add: [tex]\displaystyle d = \sqrt{29}[/tex]
