Question

Determine the distance between the following two points. (round to the nearest hundredths)

Answer 1

Answer:

$d=7.07$

Step-by-step explanation:

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

Simply plug in the 2 coordinates into the distance formula to find distance d:

$d=\sqrt{(3-(-2))^2+(-4-1)^2}$

$d=\sqrt{(3+2)^2+(-5)^2}$

$d=\sqrt{(5)^2+25}$

$d=\sqrt{25+25}$

$d=\sqrt{50}$

$d=5\sqrt{2}$

$d=7.07$
