Question

Point B(4, −3) and point E(−5, 3) are located on the grid. Which measurement is closest to the distance between point B and point E in units?

A) 9.9 units
B) 10.2 units
C) 10.5 units
D) 10.8 units

Answer 1

D

Explanation:

To find the distance between two points, use the distance formula.

`d = √((x_2-x_1)^2 + (y_2-y_1)^2)\\d = √((3--3)^2 + (-5-4)^2)\\d = √(6^2 + (-9)^2)\\d = √(36 + 81)\\d = √(117) \\d = 10.8`
