Question

Find the distance between points (3,5) and (4, 6) to the nearest tenth.

Answer 1

the distance between (3, 5) and (4, 6) is 1.4

Answer 2

≈ 1.4 units

Explanation:

Calculate the distance d using the distance formula

d =
`\sqrt{(x_(2)-x_(1))^2+(y_(2)-y_(1))^2 }`

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (3, 5) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (4, 6)

d =
`√((4-3)^2+(6-5)^2)`

=
`√(1^2+1^2)`

=
`√(1+1)`

=
`√(2)` ≈ 1.4 ( to the nearest tenth )
