This is a new concept for me, but I need help to understand it. If anyone can explain and solve this problem then I would appreciate it. Thank You!
Note that we have the points (8,12) and (53,22)
One leg = ( 53 - 8) = 45
The other = (22 - 12) = 10
Proof
By the Pythagorean Theorem......PQ = sqrt [ 45^2 + 10^2 ]
And using the distance formula PQ =sqrt [ (53 - 8)^2 + ( 22 - 12)^] = sqrt [ 45^2 + 10^2]
And the distance PQ is = sqrt [ 2125] ≈ 46.1 units
