Question

What is the distance between the points (-4, 1) and (6, 8)?
Round your answer to the nearest hundredth.

Answer 1

Answer:

12.21

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: You got to find the distance between your x's

Step 2: You got to find the distance between your y's

Step 3: Apply Pythagorean Theorem:  That is do:

$\sqrt{ (\text{ distance of x})^2+( \text{ distance of y})^2}$

So x distance is 10    (I just did 6-(-4))

So y distance is 7      (I just did 8-1 )

As per the formula, I'm going to square both... Then add those squared results together like so 100+49=149

Last step is the square root...

$\sqrt{149} \approx 12.21$
