Question

Find the distance between the two points rounding to the nearest tenth (2,-3) and(8,-7)

Answer 1

calculation formula:√((x2 - x1)² + (y2 - y1)²)

point 1: (2, -3)

point2: (8, -7)

√ [(8 - 2)² + (-7 - (-3))²]

= √[(6)² + (-4)²]

= √(36 + 16)

= √52 about 7.2

distance between the two points rounding to the nearest tenth (2,-3) and(8,-7) ≈ 7.2

Answer 2

The distance (in units) would be the square root of 52, 2 times the square root of 13, or in decimal form like you asked, rounded to the nearest tenth, it would be 7.2 units
