Question
Find distance between point A (7, 5) and B (2, 5).

Answer

Let $A\left(x_1, y_1\right)=A(7,5)$ and $B\left(x_2, y_2\right)=B(2,5)$

$\therefore$ By distance formula,

$d(A, B)=\sqrt{\left(x_2-x_1\right)^2+\left(y_2-y_1\right)^2}$

$=\sqrt{(2-7)^2+(5-5)^2}$

$=\sqrt{(-5)^2+0^2}$

$=\sqrt{25}$

$=5 \mathrm{~cm}$

$\therefore$ The distance between points $A$ and $B$ is $5 \mathrm{~cm}$.
