Find the distance between points A (3; 10) and B (-1; 2)

The distance between two points A1 (x1; y1) and A2 (x2; y2) in a rectangular coordinate system is expressed by the formula:

d = √ (x2 − x1) ^ 2 + (y2 − y1) ^ 2.

We are given points A (3; 10) and B (-1; 2). Let’s calculate the distance

in between:

d = √ (3 + 1) ^ 2 + (10 – 2) ^ 2 = √16 + 64 = √ 80 = 4√ 5.

Answer: 4√5.
