Basic Math Examples

$(\sqrt{4}, 2)$ , $(7, 1)$

Step 1

Rewrite $4$ as $2^{2}$ .

$(\sqrt{2^{2}}, 2) - (7, 1)$

Step 2

Pull terms out from under the radical, assuming positive real numbers.

$(2, 2) - (7, 1)$

Step 3

Use the distance formula to determine the distance between the two points.

$Distance = \sqrt{{(x_{2} - x_{1})}^{2} + {(y_{2} - y_{1})}^{2}}$

Step 4

Substitute the actual values of the points into the distance formula.

$\sqrt{{(7 - 2)}^{2} + {(1 - 2)}^{2}}$

Step 5

Step 5.1

Subtract $2$ from $7$ .

$\sqrt{5^{2} + {(1 - 2)}^{2}}$

Step 5.2

Raise $5$ to the power of $2$ .

$\sqrt{25 + {(1 - 2)}^{2}}$

Step 5.3

Subtract $2$ from $1$ .

$\sqrt{25 + {(- 1)}^{2}}$

Step 5.4

Raise $- 1$ to the power of $2$ .

$\sqrt{25 + 1}$

Step 5.5

Add $25$ and $1$ .

$\sqrt{26}$

Step 6

The result can be shown in multiple forms.

Exact Form:

$\sqrt{26}$
