Question
Find distance between point Q(3, – 7) and point R(3, 3)
Solution: Suppose Q(x1, y1) and point R(x2, y2)
x1 = 3, y1 = – 7 and x2 = 3, y2 = 3
Using distance formula,
d(Q, R) = `sqrt(square)`
∴ d(Q, R) = `sqrt(square - 100)`
∴ d(Q, R) = `sqrt(square)`
∴ d(Q, R) = `square`
Solution
Suppose Q(x1, y1) and point R(x2, y2)
x1 = 3, y1 = – 7 and x2 = 3, y2 = 3
Using distance formula,
d(Q, R) = `sqrt((x_2 - x_1)^2 + (y_2 - y_1)^2`
= `sqrt((3 - 3)^2 - [3 - (- 7)]^2`
= `sqrt(0^2 + (10)^2)`
∴ d(Q, R) = `sqrt(0 - 100)`
∴ d(Q, R) = `sqrt(100)`
∴ d(Q, R) = 10
