Find the distance between the points C(2, 2) and D(5, 6).
Answer Details
To find the distance between two points, we can use the distance formula which is:
distance = √((x2 - x1)^2 + (y2 - y1)^2)
Where (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) are the coordinates of the two points.
Using this formula, let's find the distance between points C(2, 2) and D(5, 6).
distance = √((5 - 2)^2 + (6 - 2)^2)
distance = √(3^2 + 4^2)
distance = √(9 + 16)
distance = √25
distance = 5 units
Therefore, the distance between points C and D is 5 units.
