Q. Find the distance between the points (2,10)(2,10) and (5,6)(5,6).\newline\newlineWrite your answer as a whole number or a fully simplified radical expression. Do not round.\newline\newline______ units
  1. Distance Formula: To find the distance between two points (x1,y1)(x_1, y_1) and (x2,y2)(x_2, y_2), we use the distance formula: (x2x1)2+(y2y1)2\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2 + (y_2-y_1)^2}. For the points (2,10)(2,10) and (5,6)(5,6), we have (x1,y1)=(2,10)(x_1, y_1) = (2, 10) and (x2,y2)=(5,6)(x_2, y_2) = (5, 6).
  2. Calculate x-coordinate difference: First, we calculate the difference in the x-coordinates: \(5 - 22)^22\. \(5 - 22)^22 = (33)^22 = 99\
  3. Calculate y-coordinate difference: Next, we calculate the difference in the y-coordinates: (610)2(6 - 10)^2.(610)2=(4)2=16(6 - 10)^2 = (-4)^2 = 16.
  4. Add squared differences: Now, we add the squares of the differences in the xx and yy coordinates: 9+169 + 16.\newline9+16=259 + 16 = 25.
  5. Find the distance: Finally, we take the square root of the sum to find the distance: 25\sqrt{25}.\newline25=5\sqrt{25} = 5.
