Q2 of 20 Page 52

Let us calculate the distances between the two points given below:

(i) (5, 7) and (8, 3)


(ii) (7, 0) and (2, –12)


(iii) and (0, –2)


(iv) (3, 6) and (–2, –6)


(v) (1, –3) and (8, 3)


(vi) (5, 7) and (8, 3)

We know that distance between two points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) is given by .


(i) Distance between the points (5, 7) and (8, 3)




= 5 units


(ii) Distance between the points (7, 0) and (2, -12)




= 13 units


(iii) Distance between the points and (0, -2)





units


(iv) Distance between the points (3, 6) and (–2, –6)




= 13 units


(v) Distance between the points (1, -3) and (8, 3)




= 9.21 units


(vi) Distance between the points (5, 7) and (8, 3)




= 5 units
