Question

What is the distance between points (6, 5) and (–12, 17)? Round to the nearest tenth.

Answer 1

subtract the points and pythag the results

Answer 2

(–12, 17)
-(6, 5)
----------
-18, 12; sqrt(18^2 + 12^2)

Answer 3

aprox. 21 i think

Answer 4

sqrt{(6+12)^2+(5-17)^2)} = sqrt{18^2+(-12)^2}= sqrt(324+144)=21.6333076527

Answer 5

8.9
14.7
18.2
21.6

Answer 6

those are the choices

Answer 7

21.6

Answer 8

well its a good thing we came close

Answer 9

okay thats what i was thinking too. THANK YOU SO MUCH! haha

Answer 10

\[\sqrt{(-12-6)^{2}-(17-5)^{2}}=\sqrt{(-18)^{2}+(12)^{2}}=\sqrt{324+144}=\sqrt468{}=21.6\]
