Given Coordinates: x1 = 8 y1 = 5, x2 = 4 y2 = 1
Distance Formula: d = √(x2 − x1)2 + (y2 − y1)2
Substitute the given coordinates into the Distance Formula and Simplify:
d = √(4 − 8)2 + (1 − 5)2
d = √(-4)2 + (-4)2
d = √16 + 16
d = √32
d = √16 * 2
d = √16 * √2
d = 4√2
Therefore, the distance between the points (8, 5) and (4, 1) is equal to 4√2
Note: As a decimal number, 4√2 ≈ 5.6568542494924
