Question

What is the distance betweem points W and X to the nearest hundredth?​

Answer 1

Answer:

16.97 Units

Step-by-step explanation:

From the graph

Point W is located at (-6,4)

Point X is located at (6,-8)

To determine the distance between points W and X, we use the distance formula.

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

$(x_1,y_1)=(-6,4)\\(x_2,y_2)=(6,-8)$

So,

$WX=\sqrt{(6-(-6))^2+(-8-4)^2} \\=\sqrt{(6+6)^2+(-12)^2}\\=\sqrt{(12)^2+(-12)^2}\\=\sqrt{288}\\=16.97 units (correct to the nearest hundredth)$
