Chapter 10: Q 22 (page 789)

Find the distance between the points (4, 0) and (-5, 12)

Short Answer

Expert verified

The required distance is 15.

Step by step solution

Given information

The given points are (4, 0) and (-5, 12)

Finding the distance

The distance between the given points is:

$\sqrt{{(- 5 - 4)}^{2} + {(12 - 0)}^{2}}$

Simplify:

$\sqrt{81 + 144}$

Simplify further

$15$
