Find the distance between points P(9,8) and Q(7,6) to the nearest tenth.

sergey [27]

Answer:

2.8 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Think of this distance as the hypotenuse of a right triangle that has a vertical leg and a horizontal one as well.

Going from P to Q, the change in x is 2 and the change in y is also 2.

Thus, by the Pythagorean Theorem, this desired distance is:

d = √(2^2 + 2^2) = 2√2 units, or 2.8 units
