Example Questions

Example Question #23 : How To Find The Length Of A Line With Distance Formula

Find the length of the line connecting the following two points. Simplify your answer.

(10,2) and (5,6)

Possible Answers:

$\sqrt{41}$

$\sqrt{43}$

$\sqrt{40}$

$\sqrt{42}$

Correct answer:

$\sqrt{41}$

Explanation:

To solve this problem we need to remember the distance formula for points on a coordinate plane:

$d=\sqrt{(x_{1}-x_{2})^{2}+(y_{1}-y_{2})^{2}}$

In this case, (x_1,y_1)=(10,2) and (x_2,y_2)=(5,6)

$d=\sqrt{(10-5)^{2}+(2-6)^{2}}$

$d=\sqrt{5^{2}+(-4)^{2}}$

$d=\sqrt{25+16}=\sqrt{41}$

Example Question #24 : How To Find The Length Of A Line With Distance Formula

Find the length of the line connecting the following two points. Simplify your answer.

(13,15) and (6,3)

Possible Answers:

$\sqrt{193}$

$\sqrt{191}$

$\sqrt{189}$

Correct answer:

$\sqrt{193}$

Explanation:

To solve this problem we need to remember the distance formula for points on a coordinate plane:

$d=\sqrt{(x_{1}-x_{2})^{2}+(y_{1}-y_{2})^{2}}$

In this case, (x_1,y_1)=(13,15) and (x_2,y_2)=(6,3)

$d=\sqrt{(13-6)^{2}+(15-3)^{2}}$

$d=\sqrt{7^{2}+12^{2}}$

$d=\sqrt{49+144}=\sqrt{193}$

Example Question #25 : How To Find The Length Of A Line With Distance Formula

Find the length of the line connecting the following two points. Simplify your answer.

(-2,-1) and (1,-3)

Possible Answers:

$2\sqrt{3}$

$\sqrt{13}$

$\sqrt{14}$

Correct answer:

$\sqrt{13}$

Explanation:

To solve this problem we need to remember the distance formula for points on a coordinate plane:

$d=\sqrt{(x_{1}-x_{2})^{2}+(y_{1}-y_{2})^{2}}$

In this case, (x_1,y_1)=(1,-3) and (x_2,y_2)=(-2,-1)

$d=\sqrt{(1-(-2))^{2}+(-3-(-1))^{2}}$

$d=\sqrt{3^{2}+(-2)^{2}}$

$d=\sqrt{9+4}=\sqrt{13}$

Example Question #26 : How To Find The Length Of A Line With Distance Formula

Find the length of the line connecting the following two points. Simplify your answer.

(-5,-3) and (1,-2)

Possible Answers:

$\sqrt{39}$

$\sqrt{35}$

$\sqrt{37}$

Correct answer:

$\sqrt{37}$

Explanation:

To solve this problem we need to remember the distance formula for points on a coordinate plane:

$d=\sqrt{(x_{1}-x_{2})^{2}+(y_{1}-y_{2})^{2}}$

In this case, (x_1,y_1)=(1,-2) and (x_2,y_2)=(-5,-3)

$d=\sqrt{(1-(-5))^{2}+(-2-(-3))^{2}}$

$d=\sqrt{6^{2}+1^{2}}$

$d=\sqrt{36+1}=\sqrt{37}$

Example Question #27 : How To Find The Length Of A Line With Distance Formula

Find the length of the line connecting the following two points. Simplify your answer.

(-3,-2) and (2,3)

Possible Answers:

$\sqrt{51}$

$5\sqrt{5}$

$5\sqrt{2}$

Correct answer:

$5\sqrt{2}$

Explanation:

To solve this problem we need to remember the distance formula for points on a coordinate plane:

$d=\sqrt{(x_{1}-x_{2})^{2}+(y_{1}-y_{2})^{2}}$

In this case, (x_1,y_1)=(-3,-2) and (x_2,y_2)=(2,3)

$d=\sqrt{(2-(-3))^{2}+(3-(-2))^{2}}$

$d=\sqrt{5^{2}+5^{2}}$

$d=\sqrt{25+25}=\sqrt{50}=5\sqrt{2}$

(2,6) and (5,1)

Possible Answers:

$\sqrt{35}$

$\sqrt{34}$

$3\sqrt{5}$

Correct answer:

$\sqrt{34}$

Explanation:

To solve this problem we need to remember the distance formula for points on a coordinate plane:

$d=\sqrt{(x_{1}-x_{2})^{2}+(y_{1}-y_{2})^{2}}$

In this case, (x_1,y_1)=(2,6) and (x_2,y_2)=(5,1)

$d=\sqrt{(5-2)^{2}+(1-6)^{2}}$

$d=\sqrt{3^{2}+(-5)^{2}}$

$d=\sqrt{9+25}=\sqrt{34}$
