Question

Find the distance between (0, -8) and (3, -2). Express your answer as a simplified radical, if possible.

O 5√3
O22.5
O √45
O 3√5

Answer 1

3√5

Explanation:

You use the Distance Formula to solve this.

d=√(x2-x1)^2 + (y2-y1)^2

Plug in your points.

d=√(3-0)^2 + (-2- -8)^2

Subtract and square.

d=√9 + 36

Add

d=√45

The square root of 45 is 6.70, so you would look for radicals.

3√5 is 45. <3
