Question

Find the distance between (–2, –3) and (–6, –12). Round the answer to the nearest hundredth, if necessary.

a.
9.85 units
c.
13 units
b.
7.26 units
d.
17.49 units

Answer 1

The answer is A 9.85

Answer 2

Correct answer is A.


`A(-2,-3),B(-6,-12) \\d(A,B)= √((-6-(-2))^2+(-12-(-3))^2) \\d(A,B)= √((-6+2)^2+(-12+3)^2) \\d(A,B)= √((-4)^2+(-9)^2) \\d(A,B)= √(16+81) \\d(A,B)= √(97) \\d(A,B) \approx 9.85`
