Question

What is the distance between the points (4,9) and (14, -11)? Round to the

Answer 1

Answer: 22.4

Step-by-step explanation:

The distance formula can be used to solve this problem.

$D=\sqrt{(x_{2}-x_{1} )^2+(y_{2}-y_{1} )^2}$

We can plug in our x and y values to find the distance.

$D=\sqrt{(14-4)^2+(-11-9)^2}$

$D=\sqrt{10^2+(-20)^2}$

$D=\sqrt{100+400}$

$D=\sqrt{500}$

$D=22.4$

Our distance between the points is 22.4.
