Given Coordinates: x1 = 5 y1 = 7, x2 = 7 y2 = 3
Distance Formula: d = √(x2 − x1)2 + (y2 − y1)2
Substitute the given coordinates into the Distance Formula and Simplify:
d = √(7 − 5)2 + (3 − 7)2
d = √22 + (-4)2
d = √4 + 16
d = √20
d = √4 * 5
d = √4 * √5
d = 2√5
Therefore, the distance between the points (5, 7) and (7, 3) is equal to 2√5
Note: As a decimal number, 2√5 ≈ 4.4721359549996
