Question

What is the distance between point (6, -1) and point (5, 3) rounded to the nearest tenth?

Answer 1

The answer is

4.1 units

Explanation:

The distance between two points can be found using the formula

`\sqrt{ ({x1 - x2})^(2) + ({y1 - y2})^(2) }`

where

( x1 , y1) and ( x2 , y2) are the points

From the question

The points are (6, -1) and (5, 3)

The distance between the points is

`\sqrt{( {6 - 5})^(2) + ({ - 3 - 1})^(2) }`

`= \sqrt{ {1}^(2) + ( { - 4})^(2) }`

`= √(1 + 16)`

`= √(17)`

= 4.123105

We have the final answer as

4.1 units
