Question

Find the distance AB between the points A (8, 2) and B(3,9). Round your answer to the nearest
tenth, if necessary.

Answer 1

Answer:

d = 8.6

d = √74

Step-by-step explanation:

$A (8, 2) = (x_1 ,y_1)\\ B(3,9) = (x_2,y_2)\\\\d = \sqrt{\left(x_2-x_1\right)^2+\left(y_2-y_1\right)^2}\\\\d =\sqrt{\left(3-8\right)^2+\left(9-2\right)^2}\\\\d=\sqrt{(5)^2+(7)^2}\\\\d=\sqrt{25+49}\\\\d=\sqrt{74}\\\\d = 8.6023\\\\d = 8.6$
