Question

Calculate the distance between each given pair of points. Round your answer to the nearest tenth, if necessary.

(3, 1) and (6, 5)

Answer 1

The answer is 5

Here are the steps:

First off, we will be using the distance formula of

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

So we have the ordered pairs of (3,1) and (6,5)

Once you plug them into the formula it should look like this:

`d= √((6-3)^2+(5-1)^2)`

Now we do the math inside the parenthesis and end up with:

`d=√(3^2+4^2)`

Then you multiply by the power and simplify to get:

`d=√(25)`

And the
`√(25)`=5

So your answer is 5
