Q. Find the distance between the points (2,1)(2,1) and (5,5)(5,5).\newline\newlineWrite your answer as a whole number or a fully simplified radical expression. Do not round.\newline\newline__\_\_ units
  1. Identify Coordinates: Identify the coordinates of the two points and apply the distance formula. The distance formula is (x2x1)2+(y2y1)2\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2 + (y_2-y_1)^2}. For the points (2,1)(2,1) and (5,5)(5,5), we have (x1,y1)=(2,1)(x_1, y_1) = (2, 1) and (x2,y2)=(5,5)(x_2, y_2) = (5, 5).
  2. Calculate Differences: Calculate the differences in the xx-coordinates and yy-coordinates.\newlineDifference in xx-coordinates: (52)2(5-2)^2\newlineDifference in yy-coordinates: (51)2(5-1)^2
  3. Square Differences: Square the differences.\newline(52)2=(3)2=9(5-2)^2 = (3)^2 = 9\newline(51)2=(4)2=16(5-1)^2 = (4)^2 = 16
  4. Find Distance: Add the squared differences and take the square root to find the distance.\newline9+16\sqrt{9 + 16}\newline25\sqrt{25}\newline=5= 5
