Question

Find the distance between (-2, 8) and (11, 2). Round to the nearest hundredth.

Answer 1

14.32

Explanation:

We can find the distance using the distance formula:

`d=√((x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2)`

We then substitute (-2,8) as
`(x_1,y_1)` and (11,2) as
`(x_2,y_2)`.

`d=√((11--2)^2+(2-8)^2) \\d=√((13)^2+(-6)^2) \\d=√(169+36)\\d=√(205)=14.32`
