Question

What is the distance between the pool in the main office in miles? Round to the nearest 10th period (8,1)(6,-6)

Answer 1

Answer & Step-by-step explanation:

For this problem, we are going too have to use the distance formula.

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

We can plug in the coordinate points that we are given to their respectful places.

$Distance=\sqrt{(6-8)^2+(-6-1)^2}$

$Distance=\sqrt{(-2)^2+(-7)^2}$

$Distance=\sqrt{4+49}$

$Distance=\sqrt{53}$

$Distance=7.3$

So, the distance between the pool and the main office is 7.3 miles.
