Question

Find the distance between each pair of points. Round to the nearest tenth.

Answer 1

The answer is

6.7 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

M ( 4 , 0) and L ( - 2 , - 3)

The distance between them is

`|ML| = \sqrt{( {4 + 2})^(2) +( {0 + 3})^(2) } \\ = \sqrt{ {6}^(2) + {3}^(2) } \\ = √(36 + 9) \: \: \\ = √(45 ) \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \\ = 3 √(5) \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \\ = 6.7082039`

We have the final answer as

6.7 units to the nearest tenth
