Question

Find the distance FG between the points F (2,7) and G (4,-1). Round your answer to the nearest tenth

Answer 1

8.2

Explanation:

The distance formula is
`√((x_1 - x_2)^2 + (y_1 - y_2)^2)`

In this case, x_1 = 2, y_1 = 7, x_1 = 4, y_1 = -1.

We can plug in these values, getting
`√((2-4)^2 + (7-(-1)^2) = 2√(17) = 8.2`
