Question

Find the distance between the two points rounding to the nearest tenth (if necessary),

(5,-4) and (0,8)

Answer 1

Answer: 13

Step-by-step explanation:

The distance formula between two points is:

`c = √((x_2 - x_1)^2 + (y_2 - y_1)^2)`

Our points are as follows -

`x_2 = 0, x_1 = 5\\y_2 = 8, y_1 = -4`

If we plug them in:

`c = √((0 - 5)^2 + (8 - (-4))^2)`

All we need to do now is simplify

`c = √((-5)^2 + (12)^2)`

`c = √(25 + 144)`

`c = √(169) = 13`
