Question

Find the distance between the two points. Round your answer to the

nearest tenth.
YA
(-3,5)
(7,1)

Answer 1

The answer is

10.8 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

(-3,5) and (7,1)

The distance between them is

`d = \sqrt{( { - 3 - 7})^(2) + ({5 - 1})^(2) } \\ = \sqrt{ ({ - 10})^(2) + {4}^(2) } \\ = √(100 + 16) \\ = √(116) \\ = 2 √(29) \\ \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: = 10.770329`

We have the final answer as

10.8 units to the nearest tenth

Hope this helps you
