Find the distance between each pair of points. If necessary, round to the nearest tenth. A(0,3), B(0,12)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You want the distance of A and B?

OpenStudy (allieatthedisco):

yes

OpenStudy (allieatthedisco):

ok, thanks

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay let me work this real quick (0,9)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It is 0 X and 9 in the Y

OpenStudy (allieatthedisco):

that is what the answer would be?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It should be

OpenStudy (anonymous):

That is what we learned in Algebra 1 Last Year!

OpenStudy (allieatthedisco):

oh, ok thanks!! give me a minute and i'll try out your question!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@allieatthedisco Do you memorize the distance formula yet?

OpenStudy (allieatthedisco):

partially. i haven't had to in my course yet but i probably should

OpenStudy (allieatthedisco):

(x2-x1)^2 +(y2-y1)^2 and thats all i know

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Distance: √(Δx² + Δy² )

OpenStudy (allieatthedisco):

@nincompoop i did

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Don't forget the sqrt sign!

OpenStudy (allieatthedisco):

right! thank you. so i would have (0+0)^2 + (3+12)^2 all under a sqrt sign?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

NO, Δy = 12 - 3 = 9

OpenStudy (allieatthedisco):

so i would end up with 0 + 81 under the sqrt then the final answer would be 9. does that seem correct?

OpenStudy (allieatthedisco):

ok thank you so very much! i really appreciate it!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Very straight forward distance formula, indeed :)
