​

Answer 1

1). 4.2 2). 7.65 3). 14.14

Explanation:

1). √(y2 - y1)² + (x2 - x1)²

√[-1 - (-4)]² + [-3 - (-6)]²

√(3)² + (3)²

√9 + 9

√18

= 4.2

2). √(2.5 - 1)² + ( -4 - 3.5)²

√(1.5)² + (-7.5)²

√(2.25) + (56.25)

√58.5

= 7.65

3).√(5 - (-5)² + (-5-5)²

√(10)² + (-10)²

√(100) + (100)

√200

= 14.14
