Question

Find the distance between the two points rounding to the nearest tenth (if necessary)

(-3,3) and (-1,5)​

Answer 1

The answer is

2.8 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

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

The distance is

`d = \sqrt{( { - 3 + 1})^(2) + ({3 - 5})^(2) } \\ = \sqrt{ ({ - 2})^(2) + ( { - 2})^(2) } \\ = √(4 + 4) \\ = √(8) \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \\ = 2 √(2) \: \: \: \: \: \: \\ = 2.82842`

We have the final answer as

2.8 units to the nearest tenth
