Question

Jessica locates her garden using a coordinate grid with yards as the units. The two points

Answer 1

Answer:

These two corners are $\sqrt{13}$ units apart.

Step-by-step explanation:

Distance between two points:

Suppose we have two points, $(x_1,y_1)$ and $(x_2,y_2)$. The distance between them is given by:

$D = \sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}$

Approximately how far apart are the two corners?

We have to find the distance between the points (-5,-2) and (-8-3). So

$D = \sqrt{(5-(-8))^2+(-2-(-3))^2} = \sqrt{13}$

These two corners are $\sqrt{13}$ units apart.
