Question

Find the distance between the points to the nearest tenth N(1,0), P(3, 8)

Answer 1

Given:

The points N(1, 0) and P(3, 8).

Required:

Find the distance between the points.

Step-by-step explanation:

The concept required:

`\begin{gathered} d=√((x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2) \\ Where, \\ (x_1,x_2)\text{ are points.} \end{gathered}`

We have N(1, 0) and P(3, 8).

So,

`\begin{gathered} d=√((3-1)^2+(8-0)^2) \\ d=√(2^2+8^2) \\ d=√(4+64) \\ d=√(68) \\ d=8.2 \end{gathered}`

Answer:

Distance between N and P is 8.2 units.
