Question

What is the distance, to the nearest whole number, from K (5, 6) to P (1, 1)?

Answer 1

The answer is 6 units

Explanation:

The distance between two points can be found by using the formula

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

where

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

From the question the points are

K (5, 6) P (1, 1)

The distance from K to P is

`|KP| = \sqrt{ ({5 - 1})^(2) + ({6 - 1})^(2) } \\ = \sqrt{ {4}^(2) + {5}^(2) } \\ = √(16 + 25) \\ = √(41) \\ = 6.403124`

We have the final answer as

6 units to the nearest whole number

Hope this helps you
