Example Questions

Example Question #131 : Geometry

What is the distance between the point (1,2) and (8,5)?

Possible Answers:

13.9

$\sqrt58$

Correct answer:

$\sqrt58$

Explanation:

For this question we will use the distance formula to solve.

$d=\sqrt((x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2)$

In our case (x_1, y_1)=(1,2)

and (x_2, y_2)= (8,5)

Substituting these values in we get the following

$d=\sqrt((8-1)^2+(5-2)^2)$

$d=\sqrt(7^2+3^2)$

$d=\sqrt(49+9)$

$d=\sqrt(58)$

Example Question #1 : Distance Formula

The points A=(-2,0), B=(0,3), and C=(0,0) makes a triangle. What is the distance between point A and point B?

Possible Answers:

$\sqrt13$

$\sqrt15$

Correct answer:

$\sqrt13$

Explanation:

For this question we need to use the distance formula for points A and B.

Point A will be our (x_1, y_1) and point B will be (x_2, y_2)

Now we substitute these values into the following:

$d=\sqrt((0--2)^2+(3-0)^2)$

$d=\sqrt(2^2+3^2)$

$d=\sqrt(4+9)$

$d=\sqrt13$

Example Question #441 : Sat Subject Test In Math Ii

Find the distance between the two points (2,7) and (4,6).

Possible Answers:

$\sqrt{3}$

$\sqrt{5}$

$\sqrt{205}$

$\sqrt{17}$

Correct answer:

$\sqrt{5}$

Explanation:

The distance between two points is found using the formula $d=\sqrt{(x_{2}-x_{1})^2+(y_{2}-y_{1})^2}$

For this problem the values are as follows:

$x_{1}=2$

$x_{2}=4$

$y_{1}=7$

$y_{2}=6$

Input the values into the formula and simplify

$d=\sqrt{(4-2)^2+(7-6)^2}=\sqrt{(2)^2+(1)^2}=\sqrt{4+1}=\sqrt{5}$
