What is the distance between the points (3, 2) and (6, 6)?

  • A.3
  • B.4
  • C.5
  • D.7

Answer: C

The distance formula between two points \((x_1, y_1)\) and \((x_2, y_2)\) is \(\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2 + (y_2-y_1)^2}\).

Distance = \(\sqrt{(6-3)^2 + (6-2)^2}\)

= \(\sqrt{3^2 + 4^2}\)

= \(\sqrt{9 + 16}\)

= \(\sqrt{25} = 5\) units.
