Question

#2) A lifeguard is swimming to a drowning swimmer. The lifeguard's location is at

Answer 1

Answer:

9.43

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for calculating the distance between two points is expressed as

D =√(x2-x1)²+(y2-y1)²

Given the coordinates (0,0) and (8,5)

D = √(5-0)²+(8-0)²

D = √5²+8²

D = √25 + 64

D = √89

D = 9.43

Hence the distance between the life guard and the swimmer is 9.43
