Question:

Find the distance between the points (2, -4) and (1, 2).

Options:

3 units

6 units

2 units

$\sqrt{37}$ units

Correct Answer:

$\sqrt{37}$ units

Explanation:

Distance b/w two points = \(\sqrt { (x2 - x1)² + (y2 - y1)² }\)

= \(\sqrt { (1 - 2)² + (2 + 4 )² }\)

= \(\sqrt { 37}\)

The correct answer is option (4) : $\sqrt{37}$ units
