find the distance:

Solved by pluggable solver: Distance Formula

The first point is (x1,y1). The second point is (x2,y2)

Since the first point is (-2, 0), we can say (x1, y1) = (-2, 0)
So ,

Since the second point is (-3, 4), we can also say (x2, y2) = (-3, 4)
So ,

Put this all together to get: , , , and

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Now use the distance formula to find the distance between the two points (-2, 0) and (-3, 4)

Plug in , , , and

==========================================================

Answer:

The distance between the two points (-2, 0) and (-3, 4) is exactly units

The approximate distance between the two points is about 4.12310562561766 units

So again,

Exact Distance: units

Approximate Distance: units

Solved by pluggable solver: Distance Formula

The first point is (x1,y1). The second point is (x2,y2)

Since the first point is (1, 5), we can say (x1, y1) = (1, 5)
So ,

Since the second point is (-3, 4), we can also say (x2, y2) = (-3, 4)
So ,

since all same, means you have a square;
so, the perimeter will be
and area
