Find the distance between the points (5,8) and (10,2).
To find the distance between two points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2), we can use the distance formula:
Distance = √((x2 - x1)^2 + (y2 - y1)^2)
In this case, the points are (5,8) and (10,2).
Using the formula, we get:
Distance = √((10 - 5)^2 + (2 - 8)^2)
= √(5^2 + (-6)^2)
= √(25 + 36)
= √61
Therefore, the distance between the points (5,8) and (10,2) is √61, which is approximately 7.81.
