Find the Distance Between Two Points (2,0) , (3,5)

$(2, 0)$ , $(3, 5)$

Step 1

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 2

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

$\sqrt{{(3 - 2)}^{2} + {(5 - 0)}^{2}}$

Step 3

Simplify.

Subtract $2$ from $3$ .

$\sqrt{1^{2} + {(5 - 0)}^{2}}$

One to any power is one.

$\sqrt{1 + {(5 - 0)}^{2}}$

Subtract $0$ from $5$ .

$\sqrt{1 + 5^{2}}$

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

$\sqrt{1 + 25}$

Add $1$ and $25$ .

$\sqrt{26}$

Step 4

The result can be shown in multiple forms.

Exact Form:

$\sqrt{26}$

Decimal Form:

$5.09901951 \dots$
