Question

Use the map to find the distance between Brookline and Davenport to the nearest tenth

Answer 1

Answer:

8.5

Step-by-step explanation:

The distance between Brookline(8, 2) and Davenport(5, 10) can be calculated using the distance formula given as $d = \sqrt{(x_2 - x_1)^2 + (y_2 - y1)^2}$.

Let,

$Brookline(8, 2) = (x_1, y_1)$

$Davenport(5, 10) = (x_2, y_2)$

$d = \sqrt{(5 - 8)^2 + (10 - 2)^2}$

$d = \sqrt{(-3)^2 + (8)^2}$

$d = \sqrt{9 + 64} = \sqrt{73}$

$d = 8.5$ (nearest tenth)
