Question

Find the distance between the two points. Round to the nearest tenth if necessary.

A0, -8)
B(3, 2)

Answer 1

`d_A_B=10.4\ units`

Explanation:

we know that

the formula to calculate the distance between two points is equal to

`d=\sqrt{(y2-y1)^(2)+(x2-x1)^(2)}`

we have

`A(0,-8),B(3,2)`

substitute the values in the formula

`d_A_B=\sqrt{(2+8)^(2)+(3-0)^(2)}`

`d_A_B=\sqrt{(10)^(2)+(3)^(2)}`

`d_A_B=√(109)\ units`

`d_A_B=10.4\ units`
