Question

What is the distance between the points (-4, 8) and (10,-3)?

Answer 1

17.8

Explanation:

Distance Formula:
`d=√((x2-x1)^2+(y2-y1)^2)`

then plug it in

`d=√((10+4)^2+(-3-8)^2)`

then solve inside the parentheses

`d=√((14)^2+(-11)^2)`

then simplify

`d=√(196+121)`

keep simplifying

`d= √(317)`

solve the square root

`d=17.80449381`

round

`d=17.8`
