Question

What is the approximate distance between two points with coordinates (3,5) and (-4, -8)? Round your answer to the nearest hundredth.​

Answer 1

15

Explanation:

use the distance formula

d = √((x2-x1)^2 + (y2-y1)^2)

d = √((-4-3)^2 + (-8-5)^2)

d = √((-7)^2 + (-13)^2)

d = √(49 + 169)

d = √218

d = 14.76 ≅ 15

Answer 2

15 (rounded) 14.7 (not rounded)
