Question

Find the distance between points (1, 5) and (3, 0) to the nearest tenth. !!

Answer 1

The answer is

5.39 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

(1, 5) and (3, 0)

The distance between them is

`d = \sqrt{( {1 - 3})^(2) + ({5 - 0})^(2) } \\ = \sqrt{ ({ - 2})^(2) + {5}^(2) } \\ = √(4 + 25) \\ = √(29) \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \\ = 5.38516 \:`

We have the final answer as

5.39 units to the nearest tenth

Hope this helps you
