If in a cartesian coordinate system Point A = (3,5) and point B = (5,7) find the distance between A and B ?
What is the distance b/w points A(3,-6 ) and B (2,1) along y-axis ?
What is the distance b/w points P(2,7) and Q (7,8) along x-axis
If the distance between the points $(a, 0,1)$ and $(0,1,2)$ is $\sqrt{27}$, then the value of a is
If $P(\sqrt{2} \sec \theta, \sqrt{2} \tan \theta)$ is a point on the hyperbola whose distance from the origin is $\sqrt{6}$ (where P is in the first quadrant) then $\theta$ equals
The ratio in which the line 3x + 4y + 2 = 0 divides the distance between the lines 3x + 4y + 5 = 0 and 3x + 4y – 5 = 0 is

Distance between two points
Given, Point A (x1, y1) and B (x2, y2) are two points on the cartesian plane

Using Pythagoras Theorem
$
\begin{aligned}
& c^2=a^2+b^2 \\
& A B^2=a^2+b^2 \\
& A B^2=\left(x_2-x_1\right)^2+\left(y_2-y_1\right)^2 \\
& |A B|=\sqrt{\left(x_2-x_1\right)^2+\left(y_2-y_1\right)^2}
\end{aligned}
$
Note:
The distance of a point $\mathrm{A}(\mathrm{x}, \mathrm{y})$ from the origin $\mathrm{O}(0,0)$ is given by
$
|O A|=\sqrt{(x-0)^2+(y-0)^2}=\sqrt{x^2+y^2}
