QuestionCalculate the distance between the points M(2,3)M(-2,3) and N(8,2)N(8,2). Choose from: A. 8 B. 61\sqrt{61} C. 10 D. 101\sqrt{101}

Studdy Solution

STEP 1

Assumptions1. The coordinates of point M are (-,3) . The coordinates of point N are (8,)
3. We are using the Euclidean distance formula to find the distance between two points in a plane.

STEP 2

The Euclidean distance between two points (x1,y1)(x1, y1) and (x2,y2)(x2, y2) in a plane is given by the formulad=(x2x1)2+(y2y1)2d = \sqrt{(x2 - x1)^2 + (y2 - y1)^2}

STEP 3

Now, plug in the given values for the coordinates of points M and N into the distance formula.
d=(8(2))2+(23)2d = \sqrt{(8 - (-2))^2 + (2 -3)^2}

STEP 4

implify the expression inside the square root.
d=(8+2)2+(1)2d = \sqrt{(8 +2)^2 + (-1)^2}

STEP 5

Perform the calculations inside the parentheses.
d=102+12d = \sqrt{10^2 +1^2}

STEP 6

Square the numbers inside the square root.
d=100+1d = \sqrt{100 +1}

STEP 7

Add the numbers inside the square root.
d=101d = \sqrt{101}So, the distance between points M and N is 101\sqrt{101}.
