Question

**Medal for good answer
Directions: Use the Pythagorean Theorem to find the distance, to the nearest tenth, between each pair of points.

11. *shows a graph**Y is on (0,1) and Z is on (4,5)

12. *shows a graph**L is on (-2,4) and M is on (3,-4)
Show work please I just want to know how to solve it:)

Answer 1

use the pythagorean theorem to solve it, like it says. a^2 + b^2 = c^2. The line between the two points makes the hypotenuse of a right triangle with the legs being the difference in x coords and difference in y coords.

Answer 2

Im sorry...wish I could give you a medal but that's just not explained enough for me... Including the answer would be great

Answer 3

"I just want to know how to solve it"

For the first one, the difference in x coords is 4, and the difference in y coords is 4. using the theorem:

4^2 + 4^2 = c^2
c^2 = 32
c = square root of 32
