Question

How many units apart are (3.1,-1) and (4.1,-1)

Answer 1

The points are 1 unit apart.

Explanation:

Given points are:

(3.1,-1) and (4.1,-1)

Distance formula is given by;

Distance between points =
`\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2`

Where,

`(x_1,y_1)` = Coordinates of first point

`(x_2,y_2)` = Coordinates of the second point

Putting the values,

Distance =
`\sqrt{(4.1-3.1)^2 + (-1-(-1))^2`

Distance =
`\sqrt{(1)^2 + (-1+1)^2`

Distance =
`√((1)^2)`

Distance = 1 unit

Hence,

The points are 1 unit apart.
