Question

Find the distance between points A(−1, 5) and B(0, 4) to the nearest tenth.

Answer 1

1.4

Explanation:

Use the distance formula

d= √(x2-x1)² +(y2-y1)² , where x1, x2, y1, y2 are the coordinates of the points

A(x1 = −1, y1 = 5) and B(x2 = 0, y2 = 4)

d= √(0 - -1 )² +(4 - 5)²

d= √(1)² +(-1)²

d= √2

d= 1.414213562, round to the nearest tenth

d≈ 1.4
