Answer:

d ≈ 7.8 units

Explanation:

calculate the distance d using the distance formula

d =
\sqrt{(x_(2)-x_(1))^2+(y_(2)-y_(1))^2 }

let (x₁, y₁ ) = (2, 0 ) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (8, 5 )

substitute these values into the formula for d

d =
√((8-2)^2+(5-0)^2)

=
√(6^2+5^2)

=
√(36+25)

=
√(61)

≈ 7.8 units ( to the nearest tenth )

Answer:

d = √61

Explanation:

  • To find the distance between two points, you can use the distance formula.


\sf d=√(((x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2)

  • In your case, you want to find the distance between the points (8, 5) and (2, 0). So, you can plug these coordinates into the formula:


\sf d=√((-6)^2+(-5)^2)\\\\\sf d=√((36)+(25))

  • Now, add the values inside the square root:


d=√(61)
