Question

Find the distance between points M(6,16) and Z(1,14) to the nearest tenth.

Answer 1

To find the distance between two coordinate points, we can use the distance formula as shown below. distance = √[(x₁ - x₂)² + (y₁ - y₂)²] where (x₁, y₁) and (x₂, y₂) are the coordinates we are comparing. So for M(6, 16) and Z(1, 14), we have distance = √[(6 - 1)² + (16 - 14)²] = √(9 + 4) = 3.6. Therefore, the distance M and Z is equal to 3.6 units. Answer: 3.6 units

Answer 2

Answer:

The answer is actually 7.3
