Distance & Midpoint

Walkthrough

Find the distance between (0, 0) and (3, 4).

1. 1.Recall the distance formula: d = √((x₂ − x₁)² + (y₂ − y₁)²).
2. 2.Identify the given points: (x₁, y₁) = (0, 0) and (x₂, y₂) = (3, 4).
3. 3.Substitute into the formula: d = √((3 − 0)² + (4 − 0)²) = √(3² + 4²).
4. 4.Compute: d = √(9 + 16) = √25 = 5.
5. 5.So the distance is 5.
