Question

Given Points D(-1,2) and T (-4,-4) Determine the length of segment DT. Round your answer to the nearest hundredth Hint: ( 2 decimal places )

Answer 1

Explanation:

The formula for finding the length between two points is as follows:

`D=√((x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2)`

All we have to do is plug in our values and solve:

`D=√((-4-(-1))^2+(-4-2)^2)\\D=√((-3)^2+(-6)^2)\\D=√(9+36)\\D=√(45)\\ D=6.71`
