Question

What is the distance between (6,2) and (-3,-2)

Answer 1

Answer:

$\sqrt{97}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Calculate the distance d using the distance formula

d = √ (x₂ - x₁ )² + (y₂ - y₁ )²

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (6, 2) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (- 3, - 2)

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

   = $\sqrt{(-9)^2+(-4)^2}$

   = $\sqrt{81+16}$

   = $\sqrt{97}$ ≈ 9.8 ( to 1 dec. place )
