Question

Find the distance between the two points rounding to the nearest tenth (if necessary

Answer 1

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  11.4

Step-by-step explanation:

Put the given coordinates in the distance formula and do the arithmetic.

  d = √((x2 -x1)² +(y2 -y1)²)

  d = √((1 -(-8))² +(7 -0)²) = √(9² +7²) = √130

  d ≈ 11.4 . . . . units

The distance between the two points is about 11.4 units.
