Given Coordinates: x1 = 5 y1 = 7, 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 − 5)2 + (2 − 7)2
d = √32 + (-5)2
d = √9 + 25
d = √34
Therefore, the distance between the points (5, 7) and (8, 2) is equal to √34
Note: As a decimal number, √34 ≈ 5.8309518948453
