Quantitative: Geometry, Mensuration & Coordinate Geometry

Subtopic: Euclidean distance between coordinate points

Question Statement:

In a 2D Cartesian coordinate plane, the Euclidean distance between points $P(2, 3)$ and $Q(8, 11)$ is ________ (round off to two decimal places).

Answer Key:

10.00

Step-by-Step Solution & Explanation

Distance formula: $d = \sqrt{(x_2 - x_1)^2 + (y_2 - y_1)^2} = \sqrt{(8 - 2)^2 + (11 - 3)^2} = \sqrt{6^2 + 8^2} = \sqrt{36 + 64} = \sqrt{100} = 10.00$
