Question

point r is at (4, 1.5) and point t is at (4, 2.9) on a coordinate grid. the distance between the two points is?

Answer 1

1.4

Explanation:

calculate the distance d using the distance formula

d = √ (x₂ - x₁ )² + (y₂ - y₁ )²

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (4, 1.5) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (4, 2.9)

d =
`√((4-4)^2+(2.9-1.5)^2)`

=
`√(0^2+1.4^2)`

=
`√(1.4^2)`

= 1.4
