Answer 1

The answer is

3.61 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

B (-3, -1) and A (0, 1)

The distance between them is

`|BA| = \sqrt{ ({ - 3 - 0})^(2) + ({ - 1 - 1})^(2) } \\ = \sqrt{ ({ - 3})^(2) + ({ - 2})^(2) } \\ = √(9 + 4) \\ = √(13) \: \: \: \: \: \\ = 3.6055512...`

We have the final answer as

3.61 units to the nearest hundredth

Hope this helps you
