Question

Find the distance, c, between (–8, 3) and (6, 0) on the coordinate plane. Round to the nearest tenth if necessary.

Answer 1

Explanation:

Applying the distance formula, we get that the distance is sqrt(14^2+(-3)^2)=sqrt(205), which is approximately 14.3178211. Rounding to the nearest tenth, we get that the distance is 14.3 units long.
