Answer 1

Answer:

7.2 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Coordinates of city A = (0, 0)

Coordinates of city B = (6, 4)

Use the distance formula to find the distance between the two cities as follows:

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

Let,

$A(0, 0) = (x_1, y_1)$

$B(6, 4) = (x_2, y_2)$

Plug in the values into the formula

$AB = \sqrt{(6 - 0)^2 + (4 - 0)^2}$

$AB = \sqrt{(6)^2 + (4)^2}$

$AB = \sqrt{36 + 16} = \sqrt{52}$

$AB = 7.2$ (nearest tenth)
