Question

What is the distance between (-6. 2) and (8.10) on a coordinate grid?

Answer 1

Answer:

The distance between 2 points is 16.1 units.

Step-by-step explanation:

You have to apply distance formula using coordinates,

$distance = \sqrt{ {(x2 - x1)}^{2} + {(y2 - y1)}^{2} }$

Let (x1,y1) be (-6,2),

Let (x2,y2) be (8,10)

$distance = \sqrt{ {(8 - ( - 6))}^{2} + {(10 - 2)}^{2} }$

$distance = \sqrt{196 + 64}$

$distance = \sqrt{260}$

$distance = 2 \sqrt{65}$

$distance = 16.1 \: units \: (3s.f)$
