Question

Find the distance between the two points. Round the answers to two decimal places. (1, 3)(5, 7) .

Answer 1

Answer:

d = 5.65685 or 5.66

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the points (1, 3) and (5, 7), we can use the following distance formula:

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

Let x 1 = 1

x2 = 5

y1 = 3

y2 = 7

$d = \sqrt{(5 - 1)^2 + (7 - 3)^2}$

$d = \sqrt{(4)^2 + (4)^2}$

$d = \sqrt{16 + 16} = \sqrt{32}$

d = 5.65685 or 5.66
