Question

Find the distance between (-6, 1) and (2, 2). Round to the
nesest hundredth.

Answer 1

d = 8.06 (units)

Step-by-step explanation:

In this problem, we are given two points with X & y coordinates. therefore we must use the Pythagorean theorem with the respective coordinates of each point to determine the required distance.

`A = (-6, 1)\\B = (2, 2)`

Now using the Pythagorean theorem.

`d=\sqrt{(x_(1)-x_(0))^(2) +(y_(1)-y_(o))^(2) }\\d=\sqrt{(2-(-6))^(2) +(2-1)^(2) }\\d=√(64+1) \\d=8.06`
