Explanation:
Let's say,
(x1,y) (x2,y2)
are two points in a
xy
plane. We can find the shortest distance between two point by applying the distance formula stated as:
Distance
=√(x2−x1) 2+(y2−y1) 2
So by putting our given points
(x1,y1)=(6,−5) and (x2,y2)=(−1,−4)
in the distance formula, we have:
¯¯¯¯¯¯CD=√(−1−6)2+(−4−(5)2
Simplify to get:
5√2
