Question

Find the distance between R (3, 4) and T (7,2). Round to the nearest tenth, if necessary.

Answer 1

Answer: 4.5

Step-by-step explanation: subtract the x values first, so 7-3=4, then subtract the y values, 4-2=2. Then plug these values into the pythagorean theorem and solve for the hypotenuse c.

`a^(2) + b^(2) = c^(2)`

`4^(2) + 2^(2) = 4.5`
