Question

FInd the distance, to the nearest tenth, between point A(1,5) and B(-3,6). Display the answer in the radical form if applicable.

Answer 1

√17

Explanation:

Use the distance between 2 points formula:

d = √(x2- x1)² + (y2 - y1)²

The 2 points are: (1, 5) and (-3, 6)

d = √(1 - -3)² + (5 - 6)² = √(4²) + (-1²) = √17

Answer 2

√17

Explanation:

Use the distance between 2 points formula:

d = √(x2- x1)² + (y2 - y1)²

The 2 points are: (1, 5) and (-3, 6)

d = √(1 - -3)² + (5 - 6)² = √(4²) + (-1²) = √17
