Q:

Distance formula (3,0) (3,-3)

Accepted Solution

A:
The formula for distance between two points is: [tex]\sqrt{(x_{2} -x_{1})^{2} + (y_{2} -y_{1})^{2}}[/tex] In this case: [tex]x_{2} =3\\x_{1} =3\\y_{2} =-3\\y_{1} =0[/tex] ^^^Plug these numbers into the formula for distance like so... [tex]\sqrt{(3-3)^{2} + (-3-0)^{2}}[/tex] To solve this you must use the rules of PEMDAS (Parentheses, Exponent, Multiplication, Division, Addition, Subtraction) First we have parentheses. Remember that when solving you must go from left to right[tex]\sqrt{(3-3)^{2} + (-3-0)^{2}}[/tex] 3 - 3 = 0 [tex]\sqrt{(0)^{2} + (-3-0)^{2}}[/tex] -3 - 0 = -3 [tex]\sqrt{(0)^{2} + (-3)^{2}}[/tex] Next solve the exponent. Again, you must do this from left to right [tex]\sqrt{(0)^{2} + (-3)^{2}}[/tex] 0² = 0 [tex]\sqrt{0 + (-3)^{2}}[/tex] (-3)² = 9 [tex]\sqrt{(0 + 9)}[/tex] Now for the addition [tex]\sqrt{(0+9)}[/tex] 0 + 9 = 9 √9 <<<This can be further simplified to:3 units ***Remember that the above answers are in terms of units Hope this helped! ~Just a girl in love with Shawn Mendes
