Can you exchange the coordinates of points (x1,y 1) and (x2, y2) in the distance formula and still find the correct distance? explain your answer with an example.

Yes. we can exchange the coordinates.

Step-by-step explanation:

Distance formula says that

distance between

and we consider the positive root only

If these two are interchanged when we square the result would be the same.

Example:

(1,2) and (-2, -2)

Distance in one order =

If order is interchanged

distance =

Thus we find that order does not matter while calculating distance.

answer: 32.68
