Answer 1

The approximate distance between points D and E is 8.25

Explanation:

The figure is as follows :

To find - What is the approximate distance between points D and E ?

Solution -

By Pythagoras Theorem, we get

(DE)² = (FE)² + (DF)²

= (8)² + (2)²

= 64 + 4

= 68

⇒(DE)² = 68

⇒DE = √68

⇒DE = 8.246

∴ we get

The approximate distance between points D and E is 8.25
