Question

To the nearest whole number, what is the distance between points A and B?Helppp

Answer 1

The coordinate of point A is (5,3) and coordinate of point B is (-2,-3).

The formula for the distance between point (x_1,y_1) and (x_2,y_2) is,

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

Determine the distance between point (5,3) and (-2,-3).

`\begin{gathered} d=\sqrt[]{(5+2)^2+(3+3)^2} \\ =\sqrt[]{49+36} \\ =\sqrt[]{85} \\ =9.21 \\ \approx9 \end{gathered}`

So answer is 9.
