info@snapandsolve.comDistance is a scalar quantity that refers to the total path length traveled by an object, regardless of direction. Displacement is a vector quantity that refers to the change in position of an object, taking into account the direction from the starting point to the final position.
The coordinates of W are (8,5) and the coordinates of Y are (7,9).
To determine the distance between points W(8,5) and Y(7,9), use the distance formula:
Distance = √((x2 - x1)² + (y2 - y1)²)
= √((7 - 8)² + (9 - 5)²)
= √((-1)² + (4)²)
= √(1 + 16)
= √17
≈ 4.12 units.
