Question

Look at points C and D on the graph. What is the distance (in units) between points C and D? Round your answer to the nearest hundredth. I REALLY NEED IT FAST

Answer 1

The distance between points C and D is 5.83

Explanation:

We need to find distance between points C and D

Looking at the graph we can find coordinates (x,y) of points C and D

Coordinates of point C are: (-4,3)

Coordinates of point D are: (1,0)

The formula used to calculate Distance is:

`Distance=√((x_2-x_1)^+(y_2-y_1)^2)`

Putting values and finding distance between points C and D

`x_1=-4, y_1=3, x_2=1, y_2=0`

`Distance=√((x_2-x_1)^+(y_2-y_1)^2)\\Distance=√((1-(-4))^2+(0-3)^2) \\Distance=√((1+4)^2+(-3)^2) \\Distance=√((5)^2+(-3)^2) \\Distance=√(25+9)\\Distance=√(34)\\ Distance=5.83`

So, the distance between points C and D is 5.83
