Question

Determine the distance between point (x1, y1) and point (x2, y2), and assign the result to pointsDistance. The calculation is: Distance = SquareRootOf( (x2 - x1)2 + (y2 - y1)2 ) You may declare additional variables. Ex: For points (1.0, 2.0) and (1.0, 5.0), pointsDistance is 3.0.

Challenge 2.7.1: Coordinate geometry Activity Determine the distance between point (x1, y1) and point (x2, y2), and assign the result to pointsDistance. The calculation is: Distance SquareRootof (x2 -x1? (y2-y1)2) You may declare additional variables.

Explanation / Answer

import java.util.Scanner; import java.lang.Math; public class CoordinateGeometry {    public static void main (String[] args)    {    double x1=1.0;    double y1=2.0;    double x2=1.0;    double y2=5.0;    double pointDistance=0.0;    double xdif=x2-x1;   //here x2-x1 is calculated    double ydif=y2-y1;   //here y2-y1 is calculated    xdif=Math.pow(xdif,2); //here (x2-x1)2 is calculated    ydif=Math.pow(ydif,2); //here (y2-y1)2 is calculated    pointDistance=Math.sqrt(xdif+ydif); // square root of ((x2-x1)2+(y2-y1)2       System.out.print("Points Distance: ");    System.out.println(pointDistance) return; } }
