Point A(2, 2) and point B(4, - 3) are located on the grid. Which measurement is closest to the distance between point A and point B in units?
To find the distance between two points on a grid, we can use the distance formula:
Distance = √((x2 - x1)^2 + (y2 - y1)^2)
In this case, our two points are A(2, 2) and B(4, -3).
Plugging in the coordinates, we get:
Distance = √((4 - 2)^2 + (-3 - 2)^2)
Distance = √(2^2 + (-5)^2)
Distance = √(4 + 25)
Distance = √29
The distance between point A and point B is approximately √29 units.
