Question 269121
I need to find the Distance between the points 
(sqrt(3),{sqrt(8)),(sqrt(12),sqrt(27) )

Using the Distance formula d= sqrt[(x2-x1)^2+(y2-y1)^2 

I get sqrt[(sqrt12-sqrt(3))^2 + (sqrt(27)-sqrt(8))^2]

At this point you should get:
sqrt[12-sqrt(36)+3 + 27-sqrt(8*27)+8]
----
= sqrt[15-6 +35-6sqrt(6)]
---
= sqrt[44-6sqrt(6)]
---
I don't agree with the answer listed in your book.
