Question

Find the distance between points P(5, 1) and Q(3, 4) to the nearest tenth.

Answer 1

using distance formula =√(5-3)sq+(1-4)sq
=√4+9
=√13

Answer 2

3.6 units

Explanation:

Given: The two points that are P(5,1) and Q(3,4).

To find: The distance between these two points.

Solution: It is given that there are two points that are P(5,1) and Q(3,4).

The distance between these two points can be found out as using the distance formula that is:

`PQ=\sqrt{(y_(2)-y_(1))^2+(x_(2)-x_(1))^2 }`

`PQ=√((4-1)^2+(3-5)^2)`

`PQ=√((3)^2+(-2)^2)`

`PQ=√(9+4)`

`PQ=√(13)`

`PQ=3.6 units`

Thus, the distance between the given two points is 3.6 units.
