Question

Find the distance between (1, 4) and (2, 3). Round your answer to the nearest tenth

Answer 1

`√(2)`

Explanation:

use the distance formula

`d = \sqrt{ {(x2 - x1)}^(2) } + {(y2 - y1)}^(2)`

`d = \sqrt{ {(2 - 1)}^(2) + {(3 - 4)}^(2) }`

`d = \sqrt{ {(1)}^(2) + {( - 1)}^(2) }`

`d = √(1 + 1)`

`d = √(2)`
