Question

Find the distance between point c (-2,1) and point d (4,5). round to the nearest tenth place.

Answer 1

The distance is 7.2 units

Step-by-step explanation:

The question requires you to find the distance between two points given the coordinates.

The points are C(-2,1) and D ( 4,5)

The formula to apply is :

`d=\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+( y_2-y_1)^2`

where d is distance between the points, x₁=-2,x₂=4,y₁=1,y₂=5

`d=√(( 4--2)^2+( 5-1)^2) \\\\d=√(6^2+4^2) =√(36+16) =√(52) =7.21`

d= 7.2 units {to the nearest tenth place)
