Question

Find the distance between the two points rounding to the nearest tenth.
(1,-3) and (-7,2)

Answer 1

Length between two points is given as √(x1-x2)²+(y1-y2)², where x and y are the coordinates of the points.

Distance = √(1-(-7))²+(-3-2)²

= √8²+(-5)²

= √64+25

= √89

= 9.43

= 9.4 (nearest tenth)
