The distance between an and b is not more than 5.
The distance between a and b is less than or equal to 5.
To find the distance between points 'a' and 'b', we need to know their coordinates. Could you please provide the coordinates of 'a' and 'b'?
To determine whether the distance between a and b is not more than 5, we need to consider the type of distance being referred to. Are you referring to the distance between a and b on a number line, on a coordinate plane, or in a physical space?
If you are referring to the distance between a and b on a number line, you can subtract the smaller number from the larger number and check if the result is less than or equal to 5.
For example, if a is 3 and b is 10, you would subtract 3 from 10 to get a result of 7. Since 7 is greater than 5, the distance between a and b on the number line is more than 5.
If you are referring to the distance between a and b on a coordinate plane, you can use the distance formula, which states that the distance between two points (a, b) and (c, d) is given by the formula √((c-a)^2 + (d-b)^2).
For example, if point a is (1, 2) and point b is (4, 6), you would substitute the coordinates into the formula as follows:
√((4-1)^2 + (6-2)^2) = √((3)^2 + (4)^2) = √(9 + 16) = √25 = 5.
Since the result is equal to 5, the distance between a and b on the coordinate plane is not more than 5.
If you are referring to the physical distance between a and b in a physical space, you would need to measure the distance using an appropriate tool or method (such as using a ruler, measuring tape, or GPS device) to determine if it is not more than 5.
