Question

Find the distance between the points and given below.

(That is, find the length of the segment connecting and .)
Round your answer to the nearest hundredth.

Answer 1

AB = 6.71 to nearest hundredth.

Explanation:

To get from A to B we move 3 units to the right then 6 units up.

This form a right angled triangle so we use Pythagoras theorem:

AB^2 = 3^2 + 6^2

= 9 + 36

= 45

So AB = √45

= 3√5 = 6.7082
