Question

What is the distance between the points (-2,4) and (6,-4), rounded to the nearest tenth

Answer 1

9514 1404 393

Answer:

11.3 units

Explanation:

The distance can be found using the distance formula:

d = √((x2 -x1)² +(y2 -y1)²)

d = √((6 -(-2))² +(-4-4)²) = √(8² +(-8)²) = √(64·2)

d = 8√2 ≈ 11.3

The distance is approximately 11.3 units.
