Question

Find the distance between X (-3,8) and Z (-5,1). Round to the nearest tenth if necessary.

Answer 1

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  7.3

Step-by-step explanation:

The distance formula is used for this purpose.

  d = √((x2 -x1)² +(y2 -y1)²)

  d = √((-5-(-3))² +(1 -8)²) = √((-2)² +(-7)²) = √(4+49) = √53

  d ≈ 7.28011 ≈ 7.3 . . . units

XZ ≈ 7.3
