Question

What is the approximate distance between points T and U? Round your answer to the nearest hundredth

Answer 1

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

Calculate the distance d using the distance formula

d = √ (x₂ - x₁ )² + (y₂ - y₁ )²

with (x₁, y₁ ) = T(1, - 1) and (x₂, y₂ ) = U(2, - 4)

d = $\sqrt{(2-1)^2+(-4+1)^2}$

  = $\sqrt{1^2+(-3)^2}$

  = $\sqrt{1+9}$

  = $\sqrt{10}$ ≈ 3.16 units ( to the nearest hundredth ) → C
