Question

Find the distance between the points (1,5) and (3,0). Round your answer to the nearest tenth.

Answer 1

5.4 units

Explanation:

Hi there!

`d=√((x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2)` where two given points are
`(x_1,y_1)` and
`(x_2,y_2)`

Plug in the given points (1,5) and (3,0)

`d=√((3-1)^2+(0-5)^2)\\d=√((2)^2+(-5)^2)\\d=√(4+25)\\d=√(29)\\d=5.4`

Therefore, the distance between the two points when rounded to the nearest tenth is 5.4 units.

I hope this helps!
