Question

A map of your town is drawn on a grid. House A is located at point (2, 1). House B is located at point (6, 4). What is the distance between House A and House B on the grid? Round your answer to the nearest hundredth.

Answer 1

House A is located at (2, 1) and house B is located at (6, 4).

Distance between A and B is
`\sqrt{(6-2)^(2)+(4-1)^(2) }`

Distance =
`√(16+9)`

=
`√(25)`

= 5 units
