Exercise 25 Page 25

Use the Distance Formula.

sqrt(13) or about 3.6

Practice makes perfect
To determine the distance between two points, we use the Distance Formula. The coordinates of the given points are E(3,7) and F(6,5).
EF = sqrt((x_2-x_1)^2 + (y_2-y_1)^2)
SubstitutePoints

Substitute ( 3,7) & ( 6,5)

EF=sqrt(( 6- 3)^2+( 5- 7)^2)
SubTerms

Subtract terms

EF=sqrt(3^2+(- 2)^2)
CalcPow

Calculate power

EF=sqrt(9+4)
AddTerms

Add terms

EF=sqrt(13)
The distance between E and F is sqrt(13). Using a calculator we can estimate that it is about 3.6.
