Question

Find the distance between the points (2.4, 5) and (9.7, 5).

Answer 1

Answer:

7.3

Step-by-step explanation:

Calculate the distance d using the distance formula

d = $\sqrt{(x_{2}-x_{1})^2+(y_{2}-y_{1})^2 }$

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (2.4, 5) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (9.7, 5)

d = $\sqrt{(9.7-2.4)^2}+(5 - 5)^2$

  = $\sqrt{7.3^2+0^2}$

   = $\sqrt{7.3^2}$

   = 7.3
