Question

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

Answer 1

The distance between the two points rounding to the nearest tenth is

9.2 units.

Given that the two points are (-1,4) and (8,2).

We are required to find the distance between two given points.

Distance is basically a numerical or occasionally qualitative measurement of how far apart objects or points are.

The points are (-1,4) and (8,2).

The formula to calculate the distance between two points (x,y),(,a,b) is as under:

Distance=$\sqrt{(a-x)^{2} +(b-y)^{2} }$

Distance=$\sqrt{(8+1)^{2} +(2-4)^{2} }$

=$\sqrt{(9)^{2} +(-2)^{2} }$

=$\sqrt{81+4}$

=$\sqrt{85}$

=9.2195

After rounding off to nearest tenth we will get 9.2.

Hence the distance between the two points rounding to the nearest tenth is 9.2 units.
