The distance between the two points (4, 1) and (10,9) is 10 units
Coordinates
Assume the points are A and B
The coordinates of the points are given as:
- Point A = (4,1)
- Point B = (10,9)
Distance
The distance (d) between two points A and B is calculated as:
[tex]d = \sqrt{(x_1 -x_2)^2 + (y_1 -y_2)^2}[/tex]
So, the above equation becomes
[tex]d = \sqrt{(4-10)^2 + (1 -9)^2}[/tex]
[tex]d = \sqrt{100}[/tex]
Take the positive square root of 100
[tex]d = 10[/tex]
Hence, the distance is 10
