Question

I NEED THE ANDWR ASAP 10 points /Find the distance between (-3,7) and (-8,5).round to the nearest tenth if needed

A)5.4
B)5
C)66
D)5.3

Answer 1

b

Explanation:

not sure but i think b is correct

Answer 2

the answer is D) 5.3

Explanation:

let the points (-3, 7) be x1 and y1 and the points (-8, 5) be X2 and y2 respectively, then

we know, distance formula = √ (x2- x1 )² + (y2 - y1 )²

= √ [ -8 - (-3) ] ² + (5 - 7)²

= √ (-5)² + (-2)²

= √ 25 + 4

= √ 29

= 5.3
