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 = ā((š„2 āš„1)2+(š¦2 āš¦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 = ā((4 ā2 )2+(1 ā3)2) = ā((2 )2+(ā2)2) = ā((2 Ć2)+(ā2 Ćā2) ) = ā(4+4) = ā8 = ā(4(2)) = ā(4 Ć(2)) = ā4 Ć ā2 = 2 Ć ā2 = 2āš
