Explanation:

Distance formula for finding out the distance between two points (x_1, y_1) and (x_2, y_2)(x1,y1)and(x2,y2) is

sqrt ((x_2 -x_1)^2 +(y_2-y_1)^2)(x2x1)2+(y2y1)2. Using this formula, the distance between the two given points would be

sqrt (3^2 +4^2)32+42 = sqrt2525 =5

using distance formula sqrt( (x2-x1)^2+(y2-y1)^2(x2x1)2+(y2y1)2

Explanation:

(x1,y1)=(6,2)(x1,y1)=(6,2) and (x2,y2)=(3,-2)(x2,y2)=(3,2)

using distance formula
sqrt((3-6)^2+(-2-2)^2(36)2+(22)2
sqrt((-3)^2+(-4)^2(3)2+(4)2
sqrt(9+16)9+16
sqrt2525
