Find the distance between the points (12,9) and (0,4)
To find the distance between two points (x₁, y₁) and (x₂, y₂), you can apply the distance formula:
d = √((x₂ - x₁)² + (y₂ - y₁)²)
For the given points (12, 9) and (0, 4), we have:
x₁ = 12, y₁ = 9
x₂ = 0, y₂ = 4
Substituting these values into the distance formula, we get:
d = √((0 - 12)² + (4 - 9)²)
= √((-12)² + (-5)²)
= √(144 + 25)
= √169
= 13
Therefore, the distance between the points (12, 9) and (0, 4) is 13 units.
