Question

What is the distance between the coordinates (5,5) and (10, 2)? Round your

Answer 1

Answer:

≈ 5.8 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Calculate the distance using the distance formula

d = √ (x₂ - x₁ )² + (y₂ - y₁ )²

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (5, 5) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (10, 2)

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

   = $\sqrt{5^2+(-3)^2}$

   = $\sqrt{25+9}$

   = $\sqrt{34}$ ≈ 5.8 units ( to the nearest tenth )
