Question

Find the distance between (-2,8) and (11,2). round to the nearest hundredth.

Answer 1

distance = sqrt (x2 - x1)^2 + (y2 - y1)^2

(-2,8)....x1 = -2 and y1 = 8
(11,2)...x2 = 11 and y2 = 2

now sub

d = sqrt (11 - (-2)^2 + (2 - 8)^2
d = sqrt (13)^2 + (-6^2)
d = sqrt (169 + 36)
d = sqrt 205
d = 14.317...rounds to 14.32 <==
