Question

Find the distance between points M(6,16) and Z(-1,14) to the nearest tenth? pls help I'm still having struggles with my formulas. ​

Answer 1

X1 = 6 X2 = -1 Y1 = 16 Y2 = 14

Distance = Square Root (X2 -X1)^2 + (Y2 -Y1)^2

Distance = Square Root (-1 -6)^2 + (14 -16)^2

Distance = Square Root (-7)^2 + (-2)^2

Distance = Square Root (49) + (4)

Distance = Square Root (53)

Distance = 7.2801098893
