Question

Find the distance between points P(9, 5) and Q(2, 7) to the nearest tenth

Answer 1

Answer: 7.3

Explanation:

To find the distance between these two points, find the difference in the x and y values then square them and add them then finally find the square root of that added number obtained.

5 - 7 = -2

9 - 2 = -7

-2^2 + -7^2 = d^2 where d is the distance

4 + 49 = d^2

53 = d^2

d =
`√(53)`

d= 7.2801 rounded to the nearest tenth is 7.3
