Question

Find the distance between the two points rounding to the nearest tenth. (2,-8) and (5,-6)

Answer 1

9514 1404 393

Answer:

3.6

Explanation:

The distance formula is used for this purpose:

d = √((x2 -x1)² +(y2 -y1)²)

d = √((5 -2)² +(-6 -(-8))²) = √(3² +2²) = √13

The distance is √13 ≈ 3.6 units.
