Question

Find the distance between (6, -7), (3, -5) round your answer to the nearest tenth

Answer 1

Answer:

d ≈ 3.6 units

Step-by-step explanation:

calculate the distance d using the distance formula

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

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (6, - 7 ) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (3, - 5 )

d = $\sqrt{(3-6)^2+(-5-(-7))^2}$

   = $\sqrt{(-3)^2+(-5+7)^2}$

   = $\sqrt{9+2^2}$

   = $\sqrt{9+4}$

    = $\sqrt{13}$

    ≈ 3.6 ( to the nearest tenth )
