Question

Find the distance between the two points rounding to the nearest tenth (if necessary). (-8,8) and (0,3)

Answer 1

9.4

Explanation:

distance^2 = (x2-x1)^2 + (y2-y1)^2

distance^2 = (0+8)^2 + (3-8)^2

distance^2 = 8^2 + -5^2

distance^2 = 64 + 25

distance^2 = 89

Get the square root of 89 to remove the square from distance.

distance = square root of 89

distance = 9.433981132056604

distance = 9.4

For other questions like this, I recommend using GeoGebra.org to find the distance between two points. All you have to do is open the calculator, put in the points, then go to tools, and click "Distance or length."

I have modeled that for you below.
