Given Coordinates: x1 = 2 y1 = 4, x2 = 7 y2 = 2
Distance Formula: d = √(x2 − x1)2 + (y2 − y1)2
Substitute the given coordinates into the Distance Formula and Simplify:
d = √(7 − 2)2 + (2 − 4)2
d = √52 + (-2)2
d = √25 + 4
d = √29
Therefore, the distance between the points (2, 4) and (7, 2) is equal to √29
Note: As a decimal number, √29 ≈ 5.3851648071345
