Given Coordinates: x1 = 4 y1 = 4, x2 = -8 y2 = 2
Distance Formula: d = √(x2 − x1)2 + (y2 − y1)2
Substitute the given coordinates into the Distance Formula and Simplify:
d = √(-8 − 4)2 + (2 − 4)2
d = √(-12)2 + (-2)2
d = √144 + 4
d = √148
d = √4 * 37
d = √4 * √37
d = 2√37
Therefore, the distance between the points (4, 4) and (-8, 2) is equal to 2√37
Note: As a decimal number, 2√37 ≈ 12.165525060596
