Question

What is the distance between the coordinates (5, 5) and (7, 2)? Round your

answer to the nearest tenth.

Answer 1

Answer: 3.6

Explanation:

To find the distance, find the difference in the x and y coordinates then square them to add them and find the square root of that number you get after you added it.

x coordinate: 5 - 7 = -2

y coordinate: 5-2 = 3

2^2 + 3^2 = c^2 where c is the length

4 + 9 = c^2

13 =c^2

c =
`√(13)`

c= 3.605 rounded to the nearest tenth is 3.6
