Question

Find the difference between (-11,-11) and (-12,-8) round answer to the nearest hundredth

Answer 1

Explanation:

The two points can be made into a right triangle with the two sides defined by two lines drawn from the two given points. Use the Pythagorean Theorem to solve for the hypotenuse, the distance between the two points. See attached graph.

6^2 + 2^2 = x^2

36 + 4 = x^2

x^2 = 40

x = 6.32
