Need help pls
i cant solve this

Answer 1

11.2 units

Explanation:

To find the distance between two points, you will need to use the distance formula:
`\sqrt{(x_(2)-x_(1))^(2) +(y_(2)-y_(1))^(2) }` where
`x_(1) = -2, y_(1) = 8, x_(2) = 3, y_(2) = -2`

Plugging the numbers in, we get:

`\sqrt{(3-(-2))^(2)+(-2-8)^(2)}`

Which we can simplify to:

`\sqrt{(5)^(2)+(-10)^(2)}`

Squaring both numbers, we get:

`√(25+100)`

Adding the numbers together, we get:

`√(125)`

Which can be simplified to:

`5√(5)` or 11.18033989, and rounding to the nearest tenth we'd get 11.2.

Therefore, the distance between the points (-2, 8) and (3, -2) is 11.2 units.
