Question

find the distance between the points (5,-5), (2,5) round to the nearest tenth

Answer 1

Answer:

D=10.44

Step-by-step explanation:

Here we are given with two coordinates and asked to determine the distance between them.

Here we are going to use the distance formula, which is given as under

$D=\sqrt{(y_2-y_1)^2+(x_2-x_1)^2}$

Where

$(x_1,y_1) = (5,-5)$

$(x_2,y_2) = (2,5)$

Replacing these values in the distance formula

$D =\sqrt{(5-2)^2+(-5-5)^2}$

$D =\sqrt{(3)^2+(-10)^2}$

$D =\sqrt{9+100}$

$D =\sqrt{109}$

$D= 10.4403$

Hence the Distance is 10.44 units
