Distance Formula
Last updated at May 29, 2023 by Teachoo
Ex 7.1 , 1 Find the distance between the following pairs of points : (i) (2, 3), (4, 1) Let the two points be P(2, 3) & Q(4, 1) We need to find distance PQ PQ = β((π₯2 βπ₯1)2+(π¦2 βπ¦1)2) Here, x1 = x coordinate of P = 2 y1 = y coordinate of P = 3 x2 = x coordinate of Q = 4 y2 = y coordinate of Q = 1 Putting values PQ = β((4 β2 )2+(1 β3)2) = β((2 )2+(β2)2) = β((2 Γ2)+(β2 Γβ2) ) = β(4+4) = β8 = β(4(2)) = β(4 Γ(2)) = β4 Γ β2 = 2 Γ β2 = 2βπ
