Let the points be A= ( 0,5) and B =
(3,9)
To find the distance between the points A and B, we will use
the distance formula as follows:
The distance Between A and B is
given by:
D ( AB) = sqrt[( xB-xA)^2 + (
yB-yA)^2].
Let us substitute with the coordinates of A and
B.
==> D ( AB) = sqrt[ ( 3-0)^2 + (
9-5)^2]
==> D(AB) = sqrt( 3^2 +
4^2)
==> D(AB) = sqrt(9+
16).
==> D(AB) =
sqrt25.
==> D(AB) =
5
Then, the distance between A and B is 5
units.
