Question

Find the distance for the following points A ( -2, -3) B (-7, -8). If necessary round your answer to the nearest tenth.

Answer 1

subtract them to find the distance between your x and y values; then use the pythag thtm to determine distance

Answer 2

distance = \( \sqrt{ ((-2)-(-7))^2 + ((-3)-(-8))^2 } \) = \( \sqrt{ (2-7)^2 + (3-8)^2} \) = \( \sqrt{5^2 + 5^2} \) = \( \sqrt{50} \) = \( 5 \sqrt{2} \)

Answer 3

A - B

(-2,-3)
-(-7,-8)
--------
(5 , 5 )

sqrt(5^2 + 5^2) = sqrt(50) = 5sqrt(2)

Answer 4

5\[what is 5\sqrt{2} \to the nearest tenth\]
