Question

What is the distance between the two endpoints in the graph below? if necessary,round your answer to two decimal places

Answer 1

The distance formula is : distance = SQRT((x2-X1)^2 + (y2-y1)^2)

Use (3,5) for X1 and Y1
Use (-6,-6) for X2 and Y2

You now have:

distance = SQRT ( (-6 - 3)^2 + (-6 - 5)^2)

distance = SQRT (-9^2 + -11^2)

distance = SQRT ( 81 + 121)

distance = SQRT (202)

distance = 14.21 units

The answer is A.

Answer 2

The distance between the two endpoints is :

14.212 or about 14.21 ( rounded to the nearest hundredth)
