Distance between points (3, 2) and (8, 2)

Given Coordinates: x₁ = 3  y₁ = 2,  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 − 3)² + (2 − 2)²
d = √5² + 0²
d = √25 + 0
d = √25
d = 5
Therefore, the distance between the points (3, 2) and (8, 2) is equal to 5
Note: Since y₁ = y₂, the distance between (3, 2) and (8, 2) is equal to the absolute value of the difference between x₂ (8) and x₁ (3), d = |8 − 3| = 5
