Question

C(8,-1) and D (-2,3) what is the distance between the two points

Answer 1

Answer:

D=10.71

Step-by-step explanation:

Here we are given with two coordinates and asked to determine the distance between them.

Here we are going to use the distance formula, which is given as under

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

Where

$(x_1,y_1) = (8,-1)$

$(x_2,y_2) = (-2,3)$

Replacing these values in the distance formula

$D =\sqrt{(3-(-1))^2+(-2-8)^2}$

$D =\sqrt{(3+1))^2+(-10)^2}$

$D =\sqrt{(4)^2+(-10)^2}$

$D =\sqrt{16+100}$

$D =\sqrt{116}$

$D= 10.71$
