Question

Find the distance between points P(5, 1) and Q(3, 4) to the nearest tenth.

3.6
5
9.4
13

Answer 1

3.6

Explanation:

Look above bru

Answer 2

≈ 3.6

Explanation:

Calculate the distance d using the distance formula

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

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (P(5, 1) and (x₂, y₂ ) = Q(3, 4)

d =
`√((3-5)^2+(4-1)^2)`

=
`√((-2)^2+3^2)`

=
`√(4+9)`

=
`√(13)` ≈ 3.6 ( to the nearest tenth )
