Question

Calculate the distance between Points A and B. A.4.5 B.7.1 C.7.8 D.9.2

Answer 1

Answer:

7.8 units separate the points A and B.

Step-by-step explanation:

Going from B to A, x increases by 6 (this is the horizontal side of the triangle formed by vertices A and B), and y increases by 5.  Applying the Pythagorean Theorem, we get

d = √(6² + 5²), or √(61, which is approximately 7.8, the desired distance.
