Q. Find the distance between the points (6,0) and (3,4). 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 the points (6,0) and (3,4). Let's denote these points as follows:Point A (x1,y1)=(6,0)Point B (x2,y2)=(3,4)
Apply Distance Formula: Apply the distance formula.The distance formula is d=(x2−x1)2+(y2−y1)2. We will use this formula to find the distance between points A and B.
Substitute Coordinates: Substitute the coordinates into the distance formula.Using the coordinates from Step 1, we get:d=(3−6)2+(4−0)2
Calculate Differences: Calculate the differences and square them.(3−6)2=(−3)2=9(4−0)2=42=16
Add Squared Differences: Add the squared differences.9+16=25
Take Square Root: Take the square root of the sum to find the distance.d=25=5
