The distance between (0,0) and (0,1) on a certain coordinate plane is 1cm. The distance between (0,0)and (1,0) on that same coordinate plane is 1cm. What is the distance between (0,0) and (1,1). Explain the answer
d=distance betwen 2 points
d=sqroot[(x2-x1)^2+(y2-y1)^2]
In this case x1=0 y1=0 x2=1 y2=1
d=sqroot[(1-0)^2+(1-0)^2]
d=sqroot(1^2+1^2)
d=sqroot(1+1)
d=sqroot(2)
d=1.41421 cm
In google type:distance formula
