Points $$M, P,$$ and $$S$$ are shown on the coordinate grid. Which calculation can be used to find the distance between points $$M$$ and $$P$$ ? ![](http://admin.getprephub.com/media/editor/Screenshot%202023-04-25%20at%2011.40.12%20AM_20230425094033007775.png)

Answer ![](http://admin.getprephub.com/media/editor/Screenshot%202023-04-25%20at%2011.40.19%20AM_20230425094043403249.png) Since, $$\triangle MSP$$ forms a right triangle, hence, we can use Pythagoras theorem to find the distance between $$M$$ and $$P$$. $$P S^{2}+S M^{2}=P M^{2}$$ Therefore the correct option is Find the difference between the length of $$MS$$ squared and $$PS$$ squared.

MCQ

Points $M, P,$ and $S$ are shown on the coordinate grid.

Which calculation can be used to find the distance between points $M$ and $P$ ?

Select all that apply :

Square the lengths of $MS$ and $PS$ , then take the square root of the sum of those squares.

Count the number of boxes between ${M}$ and ${P}$ .

Add the length of $MS$ and the length of $PS$ , then divide by two.

Find the difference between the length of $MS$ squared and $PS$ squared.
