Question

To the nearest tenth, find the approximate distance between points B and D. Graph with coordinates A negative 4, negative 4. B negative 2, 5. C 2, 1. D 2, negative 4. 8.1 units 9.8 units 5 units 3.6 units

Answer 1

The correct answer is about 9.8 units.

To do this problem, plot the 2 points and draw a right triangle. Then, you can use the Pythagorean Theorem.

You will have:

4^2 + 9^2 = c^2
97 = c^2
9.8 = c
