Question

What is the distance between point W and X to nearest hundredth?​

Answer 1

Answer:  16.97

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the distance from W to X, you can use the distance formula ...or... draw a right triangle using W and X as the vertices and use Pythagorean Theorem to find the hypotenuse. I will solve using the latter.

The y-distance from W to X is 12.

The x-distance from W to X is 12.

hypotenuse² = 12² + 12²

                      = 144 + 144

                      = 288

hypotenuse = $\sqrt{288}$

                     = 16.97
