Distance between two points

Full solution

Q. Find the distance between the points

(8,0)

and

(5,4)

.

\newline

Write your answer as a whole number or a fully simplified radical expression. Do not round.

\newline

______ units

Identify Coordinates and Formula: Identify the coordinates of the two points and the formula to use. $\newline$ We have the points $(8,0)$ and $(5,4)$ . The distance between two points $(x_1, y_1)$ and $(x_2, y_2)$ in a plane is given by the formula: $\newline$ Distance $= \sqrt{(x_2 - x_1)^2 + (y_2 - y_1)^2}$
Substitute into Distance Formula: Substitute the coordinates into the distance formula. $\newline$ Using the points $(8,0)$ and $(5,4)$ , we get: $\newline$ Distance $= \sqrt{((5 - 8)^2 + (4 - 0)^2)}$
Calculate Differences and Square: Calculate the differences and square them. $\newline$ Calculate $(5 - 8)^2$ : $\newline$ $(5 - 8)^2 = (-3)^2 = 9$ $\newline$ Calculate $(4 - 0)^2$ : $\newline$ $(4 - 0)^2 = 4^2 = 16$ $\newline$ Now we have: $\newline$ Distance = $\sqrt{9 + 16}$
Add and Find Square Root: Add the squares and find the square root. $\newline$ Add $9$ and $16$ to get $25$ : $\newline$ Distance = $\sqrt{25}$ $\newline$ Now, find the square root of $25$ : $\newline$ Distance = $\sqrt{25} = 5$
