Question

Find the distance between X (5, 7) and Y (-6, 6). Round answer to the nearest tenth.

Answer 1

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 =  $\sqrt{122}$

  l  =  11.045   Rounded to the nearest tenth is 11.0
