Question

What is the distance between the coordinates (2,9) and (10,6)? round your answer to the nearest tenth

Answer 1

To answer this question, we will employ the distance formula which states that the distance,$d$ between two points $(x_1,y_1)$ and $(x_2,y_2)$ is given by the formula:

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

Now, the points given to us are (2,9) and (10,6).

Thus, $(x_1,y_1)=(2,9)$ and $(x_2,y_2)=(10,6)$

$\therefore d=\sqrt{(10-2)^2+(6-9)^2}=\sqrt{73} \approx 8.54$

Thus distance between the coordinates (2,9) and (10,6) rounded to the nearest tenth is 8.5 units.

Answer 2

Square root of 73...
