# How do you find the magnitude of MP given M(-19,4) and P(4,0)?

Jun 1, 2017

MP $\approx 23.35 \left(2 \mathrm{dp}\right)$

#### Explanation:

$M \left(- 19 , 4\right) \mathmr{and} P \left(4 , 0\right)$

MP =  = sqrt((x_1-x_2)^2+(y_1-y_2)^2  or

MP = $= \sqrt{{\left(- 19 - 4\right)}^{2} + {\left(4 - 0\right)}^{2}} = \sqrt{529 + 16}$ or

MP = $\sqrt{545} \approx 23.35 \left(2 \mathrm{dp}\right)$ [Ans]
