Question

On a map that bus stop is at the coordinates (5,4) and the pond is at the coordinates (8,5) what is the distance from the bus stop to the pond to the nearest unit

Answer 1

Hence the distance is 3.16

Explanation:

Given data

The bus stop is at the coordinates (5,4) and

x1=5

y1=4

The pond is at the coordinates (8,5)

x2=8

y2=5

The expression for the distance between two coordinates is

d=√((x_2-x_1)²+(y_2-y_1)²)

Substitute

d=√((8-5)²+(5-4)²)

d=√((3)²+(1)²)

d=√9+1

d=√10

d=3.16
