Practice Distance in Math
Use these practice problems to test your method after reviewing the concept explanation and worked examples.
Quick Recap
The length of the shortest path between two points, always a non-negative real number.
'As the crow flies'—the straight-line separation between two locations.
Example 1
easyFind the distance between points A(1, 2) and B(4, 6).
Example 2
mediumFind the distance between P(-2, 3) and Q(4, -1). Leave your answer in simplest radical form.
Example 3
easyWhat is the distance from the origin (0,0) to the point (5, 12)?
Example 4
hardFind the distance between points A(1, 2, 3) and B(4, 6, 3) in 3D space.
