Question

To the nearest tenth, what is the distance in centimeters (cm) between the points (-3, 2) and (5,6)

Answer 1

8.9

Explanation:

Use the distance formula to determine the distance between the two points.

`d = \sqrt{(x_(2) -x_(1))^(2) + (y_(2) - x_(1))^(2) }`

d = distance

`(x_(1), y_(1))` = coordinates of the first point

`(x_(2), y_(2))` = coordinates of the second point
