Question

Find the distance between (2, 2) and (-4, 4). Round answer to the nearest tenth.

Answer 1

Answer:

6.3

Step-by-step explanation:

First off, we need the distance formula, which is:

$\sqrt{(x_2 - x_1)^2 + (y_2 - y_1)^2}$

If we plug in the points, we get:

$\sqrt{(-4 - 2)^2 + (4 - 2)^2}$

If we simplify everything under the square root, we get:

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

$\sqrt{36 + 4}$

$\sqrt{40}$

In decimal, the answer is 6.3
