Question

Work out the lengh of RS
gue your answer to 3 significant figures

Answer 1

5.83

Explanation:

Answer 2

RS ≈ 5.83 units

Explanation:

Calculate RS using the distance formula

d = √ (x₂ - x₁ )² + (y₂ - y₁ )²

with (x₁, y₁ ) = R(- 3, 1) and (x₂, y₂ ) = S(2, 4)

RS =
`√((2+3)^2+(4-1)^2)`

=
`√(5^2+3^2)`

=
`√(25+9)`

=
`√(34)` ≈ 5.83 ( to 3 significant figures )
