Find the distance between the points (-3, 11) and (5, 5).

1 answer:

5 0

Formula for distance between two points:

d = √((x₂-x₁)² + (y₂-y₁)²)

Let point 1 be (-3, 11) and point 2 be (5, 5)

Therefore x₁ = -3, y₁ = 11, x₂ =5, y₂ = 5, and substituting in the formula above.

d = √((x₂-x₁)² + (y₂-y₁)²)

   = √((5- -3)² + (5-11)²)

   = √((5+3)² + (5-11)²)

   = √((8)² + (-6)²) 8² = 8*8 = 64, (-6)² = -6*-6 = 36

   = √(64 + 36)

= √(100)

= 10

Distance = 10 units.

Answer:

$\large \boxed{27 \, \%} }$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\begin{array}{rcl}\text{Percent error}&= &\dfrac{\lvert \text{Measured - Actual}\lvert}{ \text{Actual}} \times100 \,\%\\\\& = & \dfrac{\lvert 10 - 13.75\lvert}{13.75} \times 100 \, \% \\\\& = & \dfrac{\lvert -3.75\lvert}{13.75} \times 100 \, \%\\ \\& = & \dfrac{3.75}{13.75} \times 100 \,\%\\\\& = & 0.27 \times 100 \, \%\\& = & \mathbf{27 \, \%}\\\end{array}\\\text{The percent error is $\large \boxed{\mathbf{27 \, \%} }$}$
