Question

Find the distance between two point rounding to the nearest tenth. (0,-6) and (9,-1)

Answer 1

≈ 10.3 units

Explanation:

Calculate the distance d using the distance formula

d =
`\sqrt{(x_(2)-x_(1))^2+(y_(2)-y_(1))^2 }`

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (0, - 6) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (9, - 1)

d =
`√((9-0)^2+(-1+6)^2)`

=
`√(9^2+5^2)`

=
`√(81+25)`

=
`√(106)`

≈ 10.3 ( to the nearest tenth )

Answer 2

The answer is 10.
