Question

Find the distance between the two points. Round the answers to two decimal places. (1, 3)(5, 7) .

Answer 1

d = 5.65685 or 5.66

Explanation:

Given the points (1, 3) and (5, 7), we can use the following distance formula:

`d = \sqrt{(x_(2) - x_(1))^2 + (y_(2) - y_(1))^2}`

Let x 1 = 1

x2 = 5

y1 = 3

y2 = 7

`d = √((5 - 1)^2 + (7 - 3)^2)`

`d = √((4)^2 + (4)^2)`

`d = √(16 + 16) = √(32)`

d = 5.65685 or 5.66
