Question

Find the distance between each pair of points. Round answers to the

nearest tenth.
(-3,8) and (6,-6)

Answer 1

The answer is 16.6 units

Answer 2

Answer: 16.6 units

Explanation:

To find the distance between two points (-3, 8) and (6, -6), you can use the distance formula:

Distance = √((x2 - x1)^2 + (y2 - y1)^2)

Where (x1, y1) = (-3, 8) and (x2, y2) = (6, -6).

Distance = √((6 - (-3))^2 + (-6 - 8)^2)

Now, calculate the differences:

Distance = √((6 + 3)^2 + (-6 - 8)^2)

Distance = √((9)^2 + (-14)^2)

Now, square and sum the differences:

Distance = √(81 + 196)

Distance = √277

Now, round the answer to the nearest tenth:

Distance ≈ 16.6 (rounded to the nearest tenth)

So, the distance between the points (-3, 8) and (6, -6) is approximately 16.6 units.
