Answer:
8.12
Step-by-step explanation:
We obtain the distance between x and y
d = sqrt[(x2 - x1)² + (y2 - y1)²]
d = sqrt[(1 - 2)² + (2 - 6)²]
d = sqrt[1 + 16)
d = sqrt(17)
d² = 17
From Pythagoras rule;
Hypotenus = sqrt(Adjacent² + opposite²)
Hence,
Hypotenus = sqrt(17 + 7²)
Hypotenus = sqrt(17+ 49)
Hypotenus = sqrt(66)
Hypotenus = 8.124
Hypotenus = 8.12

Explanation:
The question requires that we round the given number to Ten-thousand
To do so, we will have to write the place values of the numbers first
Next, we find the digits before the Ten-thousand digits and then approximate the value
One of the principles to use is that
numbers from 0 to 4 are rounded to 0
while numbers from 5 to 9 are rounded to 1
In our case, The thousand digit is 0, so we round down to 0, then we add to the Ten-thousand digits and convert each of the numbers before the Ten-thousand digits to 0
Thus, we will have
Hence, the answer is 1,370,000
