Question
Answer:
Use the distance formula (derived from Pythagorean Theorem:[tex]d = \sqrt{ {(x2 - x1)}^{2} + {(y2 - y1)}^{2} } \\ = \sqrt{ {(10 - 8)}^{2} + {(11 - 7)}^{2} } \\ = \sqrt{ {(2)}^{2} + {(4)}^{2} } = \sqrt{4 + 16} \\ d = \sqrt{20} [/tex]
[tex]d = \sqrt{20} = \sqrt{4} \times \sqrt{5} = 2 \sqrt{5} [/tex]
