Question 2 (Fill-In-The-Blank Worth 3 points) (04.04) Point R is at (2, 1.2) and Point T is at (2, 2.5) on a coordinate grid. The distance between the two points is ____. (Input numbers and decimal point only, such as 8.2.) Answer for Blank 1:

Answer 1

The length between the two points is RT = 1.3 units

Explanation:

The coordinates of the point R and T are R(2,1.2) and T(2,2.5).

Now, by DISTANCE FORMULA:

The distance between two coordinates P and Q with coordinate P(a,b) and Q(c,d) is given as:

`PQ  = √((a-c)^2   + (b-d)^2)`

So, here the distance RT =
`√((2-2)^2  + (2.5 - 1.2)^2)   = √(0^2  + (1.3)^2)   = 1.3`

or, RT = 1.3 units

Hence, the length between the two points is RT = 1.3 units
