Question

Find the distance between the two points. Round to the nearest tenth if necessary.

Answer 1

Answer:

$d_A_B=10.4\ units$

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

the formula to calculate the distance between two points is equal to

$d=\sqrt{(y2-y1)^{2}+(x2-x1)^{2}}$

we have

$A(0,-8),B(3,2)$

substitute the values in the formula

$d_A_B=\sqrt{(2+8)^{2}+(3-0)^{2}}$

$d_A_B=\sqrt{(10)^{2}+(3)^{2}}$

$d_A_B=\sqrt{109}\ units$

$d_A_B=10.4\ units$
