Question

What is the distance between movie theater & Pizza Palace? round to the nearest hundredth

Answer 1

First, locate the coordinate points:

Movie theater = (x1,y1) = (-4, -6)

Pizza Palace = (x2,y2) = (-8,2)

Apply the Distance formula:

`D=\sqrt[]{(x2-x1)^2+(y2-y1)^2}`

Replace:

`D=\text{ }\sqrt[]{(2-(-6))^2+(-8-(-4))^2}=\sqrt[]{(8)^2+(-4)^2}=\text{ }\sqrt[]{64+16}=\sqrt[]{80}=\text{ 8.94}`
