Question

Find the distance bewteen points H(8,4) and k(7,6) to the nearest hundreath

Answer 1

2.24

Explanation:

If you look at the points on the graph, you can see that the distance between them is also the hypotenuse of a right triangle, meaning you can calculate the distance using the pythagorean theorem.

`a^2+b^2=c^2\\1^2+2^2=c^2\\1+4=c^2\\c=√(5)\\c\approx2.2361`
