Find the distance between the points (3,3) and (2,1).
Write your answer as a whole number or a fully simplified radical expression. Do not round.
units
The distance formula between two points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) is given by:
√((x2 - x1)^2 + (y2 - y1)^2)
Plugging in the given points:
(x1, y1) = (3, 3) and (x2, y2) = (2, 1)
√((2 - 3)^2 + (1 - 3)^2)
√((-1)^2 + (-2)^2)
√(1 + 4)
√5
Therefore, the distance between the points (3,3) and (2,1) is √5 units.
