Question

What is the distance between the points (2,6) and (5,8)? Round to the
nearest tenth if necessary.

Answer 1

The distance between given points is 3.6 units.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given points are;

(2,6) and (5,8)

Here;

$x_1=2\\y_1=6\\x_2=5\\y_2=8$

Distance between two points is calculated by;

$Distance=\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}\\\\Distance = \sqrt{(5-2)^2+(8-6)^2}\\\\Distance = \sqrt{(3)^2+(2)^2}\\\\Distance = \sqrt{(9+4)}\\\\Distance = \sqrt{13}\\\\Distance=3.6\ units$

The distance between given points is 3.6 units.
