Question

Using the distance formula, d = √(x2 - x1)2 + (y2 - y1)2, what is the distance between point (-10, 12) and point (5, 3) rounded to the nearest tenth?

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer is 17.5 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the distance formula

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

the distance between (-10, 12) and (5, 3) is

$d = \sqrt{ ({5 + 10})^{2} + ({3 - 12})^{2} }$

$d = \sqrt{ {15}^{2} + ( { - 9})^{2} }$

$d = \sqrt{225 + 81}$

$d = \sqrt{306}$

$d = 3 \sqrt{34}$

d = 17.492855

We have the final answer as

d = 17.5 units to the nearest tenth
