Question

Point A is at (3, 2.5) and point B is at (3, 1.4) on a coordinate grid. The distance between the two points is ____. Input numbers and decimal point only, such as 5.8

Answer 1

The Answer Is , 2.5-1.4 = 1.1

Answer 2

Answer: 1.1 units

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the distance between any two points (a,b) and (c,d) is given by :-

$D=\sqrt{(d-b)^2+(c-a)^2}$

Then , the distance between the points A (3, 2.5) and B (3, 1.4) will be :-

$D=\sqrt{(1.4-2.5)^2+(3-3)^2}\\\\\Rightarrrow D= \sqrt{{(-1.1)}^2+0^2}\\\\\Rightarrow D =\sqrt{1.1^2} \\\\\Rightarrow D =1.1$

Hence, the distance between the two points is  1.1 units.
