Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What is the distance between the points (1, 1) and (4, 5)?
  • Step 1: Identify the coordinates of the two points. The first point is (1, 1) and the second point is (4, 5).
  • Step 2: Label the coordinates. Let (x1, y1) = (1, 1) and (x2, y2) = (4, 5).
  • Step 3: Write down the distance formula: d = √[(x2 - x1)² + (y2 - y1)²].
  • Step 4: Substitute the values into the formula: d = √[(4 - 1)² + (5 - 1)²].
  • Step 5: Calculate (4 - 1) and (5 - 1): (4 - 1) = 3 and (5 - 1) = 4.
  • Step 6: Substitute these results back into the formula: d = √[3² + 4²].
  • Step 7: Calculate 3² and 4²: 3² = 9 and 4² = 16.
  • Step 8: Add the results: 9 + 16 = 25.
  • Step 9: Take the square root of 25: √25 = 5.
  • Step 10: The distance between the points (1, 1) and (4, 5) is 5.
