Question

Find the distance between (-2, 8) and (11, 2). Round to the nearest hundredth.

Answer 1

Answer:

14.32

Step-by-step explanation:

We can find the distance using the distance formula:

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

We then substitute (-2,8) as $(x_1,y_1)$ and (11,2) as $(x_2,y_2)$.

$d=\sqrt{(11--2)^2+(2-8)^2} \\d=\sqrt{(13)^2+(-6)^2} \\d=\sqrt{169+36}\\d=\sqrt{205}=14.32$
