Q. Find the distance between the points (4,3) and (8,6). Write your answer as a whole number or a fully simplified radical expression. Do not round.
Identify Coordinates: Identify the coordinates of the two points.We have Point A (4,3) and Point B (8,6). We need to find the distance between these two points.Let's denote the coordinates as follows:x1=4, y1=3 (for Point A)x2=8, y2=6 (for Point B)
Apply Formula: Apply the distance formula.The distance d between two points (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) is given by the formula:d=(x2−x1)2+(y2−y1)2Now we will substitute the values of x1, y1, x2, and y2 into the formula.
Substitute Values: Substitute the values into the distance formula.d=(8−4)2+(6−3)2This simplifies to:d=(4)2+(3)2
Calculate Squares: Calculate the squares of the differences.(4)2=16(3)2=9Now we add these two values.d=16+9
Add and Find Root: Add the results and find the square root.16+9=25d=25The square root of 25 is 5.d=5
