  • Distance Formula: [tex]d = \sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define

Point (2, 8)

Point (17, 0)

Step 2: Find distance d

Simply plug in the 2 coordinates into the distance formula to find distance d.

  1. Substitute [DF]:                    [tex]d = \sqrt{(17-2)^2+(0-8)^2}[/tex]
  2. Subtract:                               [tex]d = \sqrt{(15)^2+(-8)^2}[/tex]
  3. Exponents:                           [tex]d = \sqrt{225+64}[/tex]
  4. Add:                                      [tex]d = \sqrt{289}[/tex]
  5. Simplify:                               [tex]d = 17[/tex]
