Question

What is the distance between the coordinates (2,9) and (10,6)? round your answer to the nearest tenth

Answer 1

Square root of 73...
I think..

Answer 2

To answer this question, we will employ the distance formula which states that the distance,
`d` between two points
`(x_1,y_1)` and
`(x_2,y_2)` is given by the formula:

`d=√((x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2)`

Now, the points given to us are (2,9) and (10,6).

Thus,
`(x_1,y_1)=(2,9)` and
`(x_2,y_2)=(10,6)`

`\therefore d=√((10-2)^2+(6-9)^2)=√(73) \approx 8.54`

Thus distance between the coordinates (2,9) and (10,6) rounded to the nearest tenth is 8.5 units.
