find the distance between the points given (2, 5) and (6,8)
Added by Scott T.
Step 1
Difference in x-coordinates: 6 - 2 = 4 Difference in y-coordinates: 8 - 5 = 3 Now, we can use the Pythagorean theorem to find the distance between the points. The theorem states that the square of the distance between two points is equal to the sum of the Show more…
