Question

Find the distance between each pair of points. Round to the nearest hundredth.

(-2, 6) and (3, 0)

Answer 1

7.81

Explanation:

Use distance formula:
`\sqrt{(x2-x1)^(2)+(y2-y1)^(2) }`

So, that converts to

x2-x1 = 3-(-2)=5

y2-y1 = 0-6 = 6

`5^(2)`=25

`6^(2)`=36

25+36=61

Now, take the square root of the sum:
`√(61)`

to get 7.81.

Answer 2

7.8

Explanation:

formula:

`d=√((x2 - x1)^2 + (y2 - y1)^2)`

`d=√((3 - (-2))^2 + (0 - 6)^2)`

`d=√(5^2 + (-6)^2)`

`d=√(25 + 36)`

`d=√(61)`

d= 7.81 ~ 7.8
