Distance from (0, 0) to (1, 1)
Calculate the distance between points (0, 0) and (1, 1) using the distance formula.
Answer:
Distance = d = √2 ≈ 1.414214
Step-by-Step Solution
Step 1
Identify the Points
Point 1: P₁(0, 0)
Point 2: P₂(1, 1)
P₁(0, 0), P₂(1, 1)
Step 2
State the Distance Formula
For two points in 2D space:
d = √[(x₂ - x₁)² + (y₂ - y₁)²]
This is derived from the Pythagorean theorem
d = √[(x₂-x₁)² + (y₂-y₁)²]
Step 3
Calculate the Differences
Δx = x₂ - x₁ = 1 - 0 = 1
Δy = y₂ - y₁ = 1 - 0 = 1
Δx = 1, Δy = 1
Step 4
Square the Differences
(Δx)² = (1)² = 1
(Δy)² = (1)² = 1
Sum = 1 + 1 = 2
(Δx)² + (Δy)² = 2
Step 5
Take the Square Root
d = √2
Cannot simplify further
Decimal: d ≈ 1.414214
d = √2 ≈ 1.4142
Step 6
Interpretation
This is the distance from the origin
Also represents the magnitude of vector (1, 1)
|(1, 1)| = 1.4142
