Find the distance between X (5, 7) and Y (-6, 6). Round answer to the nearest tenth.
1 answer:
Answer: 11.0 or 11
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the distance first find the difference between the coordinates. find the change in the x and y coordinates and square them to add them to get a number and find the square root of that same number to find the distance.
x coordinates: 5-(-6)= 11
y coordinate: 7-6 = -1
Now square them
11^2 + 1^2 = l^2 where l is the distance
121 + 1 = l^2
122 =l^2
l =
l = 11.045 Rounded to the nearest tenth is 11.0

Answer:
x = 12.2 mi
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the two sides of the right triangle:
a = 6.1 mi
b = 10.6 mi
c = x
Use the Pythagorean Theorem to solve for the value of the hypotenuse, <em>x:</em>
c² = a² + b²
c² = (6.1)² + (10.6)²
c² = 37.21 + 112.36
c = 12.2 mi
Therefore, x = 12.2 mi
