Question
`" Find the distance between the points" A ((-8)/5,2) and B (2/5,2)`
Solution
The given points are ` A ((-8)/5,2) and B (2/5,2)`
Then ` (x_1 = (-8)/5 , y_1 =2 ) and ( x_2 = 2/5 , y_2 = 2)`
Therefore ,
`AB = sqrt((x_2 -x_1)^2 +(y_2-y_1)^2)`
`= sqrt({2/5-((-8)/5)}^2 +(2-2)^2)`
`= sqrt((2)^2 +(0)^2`
`=sqrt(4+0)`
`= sqrt(4)`
= 2 units .

In a GPS, The lines that run east-west are known as lines of latitude, and the lines running north-south are known as lines of longitude. The latitude and the longitude of a place are its coordinates and the distance formula is used to find the distance between two places. The distance between two parallel lines is approximately 150 km. A family from Uttar Pradesh planned a round trip from Lucknow (L) to Puri (P) via Bhuj (B) and Nashik (N) as shown in the given figure below.
