Answer: Distance = 7.62 units.
Explanation:
The formula for distance is D = the square root of (x2 - x1)^2 + (y2 - y1)^2.
S(-3, 2): x1 = -3 and y1 = 2.
T(4, 5): x2 = 4 and y2 = 5.
Let’s put those in our formula.
D = the square root of (4 - (-3))^2 + (5 - 2)^2
Solve the numbers in the parantheses.
D = the square root of (7)^2 + (3)^2
Square the numbers.
D = the square root of 49 + 9
Add them.
D = the square root of 58.
Finally, square root 58.
D = 7.62 units.
