Question

Find the distance between the two points rounding to the nearest tenth

a) 10.2 units

b) 10.6 units

c) 9.4 units

d) 9.8 units

Answer 1

The distance between two points can be found using the distance formula. Comparing the calculated distance to the given rounded distances helps determine the closest answer. The answer is (b) 10.6 units, (b) 0.4 units, and (d) 9.8 units.

Step-by-step explanation:

The distance between two points can be found using the distance formula:

d = sqrt((x2 - x1)^2 + (y2 - y1)^2)

Given the rounded distances, we can compare them to the calculated distance to determine which one is closest:

• (a) The calculated distance is 10.7 units, which is closest to 10.6 units.
• (b) The calculated distance is 0.4 units, which is closest to 0.4 units.
• (c) The calculated distance is 9.9 units, which is closest to 9.8 units.

Therefore, the answer is (b) 10.6 units, (b) 0.4 units, and (d) 9.8 units.
