Question

Find the distance between the points (5,-5), (2,5) round to the nearest tenth

Answer 1

D=10.44

Explanation:

Here we are given with two coordinates and asked to determine the distance between them.

Here we are going to use the distance formula, which is given as under

`D=√((y_2-y_1)^2+(x_2-x_1)^2)`

Where

`(x_1,y_1) = (5,-5)`

`(x_2,y_2) = (2,5)`

Replacing these values in the distance formula

`D =√((5-2)^2+(-5-5)^2)`

`D =√((3)^2+(-10)^2)`

`D =√(9+100)`

`D =√(109)`

`D= 10.4403`

Hence the Distance is 10.44 units
