What is the approximate distance between points A and B?

A 3.61
B 9.22
C 10.35
D 12.62

Answer 1

the answer you are looking for is....

B 9.22

Answer 2

B 9.22

Explanation:

Hello

to find the distance, you can use the distance between two points equation

Given

`P1(x_(1),y_(1))\\P2(x_(2),y_(2))\\\\the\ distance(d)\\\\D=\sqrt{(x_(2)-x_(1))^(2) +(y_(2)-y_(1))^(2) } \\`

Step 1

define

`P1=A=(4,3)\\P2=B=(-2,-4)\\`

Step 2

put the values into the equation

`D=\sqrt{(x_(2)-x_(1))^(2) +(y_(2)-y_(1))^(2) } \\D=\sqrt{(-2-4)^(2) +(-4-3)^(2) }\\ D=\sqrt{(-6)^(2)+(-7)^(2) }\\ D=√(36+49) \\D=√(85) \\D=9.22`

the distance between the points is 9.22 ⇒B

Have a great day
