Given Coordinates: x1 = 3 y1 = 4, x2 = 5 y2 = 2
Distance Formula: d = √(x2 − x1)2 + (y2 − y1)2
Substitute the given coordinates into the Distance Formula and Simplify:
d = √(5 − 3)2 + (2 − 4)2
d = √22 + (-2)2
d = √4 + 4
d = √8
d = √4 * 2
d = √4 * √2
d = 2√2
Therefore, the distance between the points (3, 4) and (5, 2) is equal to 2√2
Note: As a decimal number, 2√2 ≈ 2.8284271247462
