Question

Find the distance between the points (-12.3, 15.1) and (17.5, 2). Round your answer to the

nearest hundredth.

Answer 1

32.55

Explanation:

d = 32.552266

For:

(X1, Y1) = (-12.3, 15.1)

(X2, Y2) = (17.5, 2)

Distance Equation Solution:

d=(17.5−(−12.3))2+(2−15.1)2−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−√

d=(29.8)2+(−13.1)2−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−√

d=888.04+171.61−−−−−−−−−−−−−√

d=1–√059.65

d=32.552266

could be confusing.
