Question

Find the distance between the pair of points. (16,0) and (1, -7) The distance is. (Round to the nearest thousandth as needed.)

Answer 1

For this case we can use the formula for the distance between two points:

`d=\sqrt[]{(y_2-y_1)^2+(x_2-x_1)^2}`

and replacing we got:

`d=\sqrt[]{(-7-0)^2+(1-16)^2}=\sqrt[]{274}`

And the correct answer after round would be:

16.553
