The length of a line segment AB, which joins A (x1, y1) and B (x2, y2) is given by, Distance Formula Proof Let A (x1, y1) and B (x2, y2) be two points in the plane. Let d = distance between the points A and B. Draw AL and BM perpendicular to x-axis (parallel to y-axis). Draw AC perpendicular to BM to cut BM at C.

OL = x1, OM = x2 [AC = LM = OM - OL = x2 - x1] MB = y2, MC = LA = y1 [CB = MB - MC = y2 - y1] From the right-angled DACB, Distance Formula Examples Below are some examples based on distance formula Example 1: Find the distance between the following pair of points: A (1,2) and B (4,5). Solution: Using the distance formula, we have Example 2: Find the distance between places when the two coordinates (2, 4) and (4, 6)are given, using the distance formula.? Solution: (x1, y1)= (2, 4) (x2, y2) = (4, 6) Learn More Definition of Circle

How do you Find the Circumference of a Circle


The distance around a closed curve is called as the circumference of the circle. It is also defined as the length around the circle. The circumference of a circle is measured in linear units like inches or centimeters. Circumference of a Circle Formula The formula of circumference of a circle is given by the following formula, Circumference, C = 2 * * r where, r is the radius of the circle. and pi is a constant value and is equal to 3.14 The circumference of a circle can be calculated by its diameter using the following formula: Circumference, C = * D Where, value of is a constant and its value is approximately 3.14159265358979323846.... or 22/7 to be more precise and D is the diameter of the circle. To simplify calculations the value of is rounded to 3.14. The diameter of a circle is twice its radius. Therefore, Circumference, C = 2 r

Circumference of a Circle Examples Below are the examples on circumference of a circle Example 1: Find the circumference of a circle given that its radius is 10. Solution: The circumference is always multiply by 2 the length of the radius, Formula Circumference of circle = 2 r Circumference = 2 x 10 x = 62.8 Example 2: Find the circumference of a circle known that area of the circle is 153.86 Solution: Step 1: Read More About Volume of a Sphere Formula
