Question

What is the distance betweem points W and X to the nearest hundredth?​

Answer 1

16.97 Units

Explanation:

From the graph

Point W is located at (-6,4)

Point X is located at (6,-8)

To determine the distance between points W and X, we use the distance formula.

`\text{Distance Formula}=√((x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2)`

`(x_1,y_1)=(-6,4)\\(x_2,y_2)=(6,-8)`

So,

`WX=√((6-(-6))^2+(-8-4)^2) \\=√((6+6)^2+(-12)^2)\\=√((12)^2+(-12)^2)\\=√(288)\\=16.97$ units (correct to the nearest hundredth)`
