Question

Please Help! What is the distance between points (2, 8) and (7, 5)? Round to the nearest tenth of a unit.

Answer 1

Distance formula is like pythagoren ahtoerem
D=$\sqrt{(7-2)^{2}+(5-8)^{2}}$
the distance between oints (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) is
D=$\sqrt{(x2-x1)^{2}+(y2-y1)^{2}}$
(2,8) and (7,5)
D=$\sqrt{(7-2)^{2}+(5-8)^{2}}$
D=$\sqrt{(5)^{2}+(-3)^{2}}$
D=$\sqrt{25+9}$
D=$\sqrt{34}$
apxos
D=5.8309....

round
D=5.8 units

Answer 2

The answer I got was 5.8 .
