Question

What is the length of ? Round to the nearest hundredth.
A.4.24
B.4.83
C.5.75
D.6.09

And how do i solve for these kind of equations?

Answer 1

the length of what ?

Answer 2

I attached the file.

Answer 3

BC

Answer 4

\[d^2 = (x2-x1)^2 + (y2-y1)^2\]

Answer 5

Length BC

Answer 6

use this formula ..distance between two points

Answer 7

(x1,y1) (x2,y2)

Answer 8

Could you explain please, I don't expect for anyone to hand me the answer. But I'm struggling on this.

Answer 9

ok so tell me what are the coordinates of point B and C ?

Answer 10

B= 5,1 C= 2, -2

Answer 11

good .. so given two points in order to find the distance d between them you use the formula i gave you there..
we can take for example
point c to have coordinates (x1,y1 )
and point b to have coordinates(x2,y2)

do you understand now how to plug your data into the formula ?

Answer 12

once i fill in x1,y1, and x2,y2 table what do i do??

Answer 13

x1=5 x2=2
y1=1 y2=2

5-2 + 1 - 2

Answer 14

d^2 = (5-2)^2 + (1-(-2))^2

Answer 15

can you find d now?

Answer 16

nope I'm still having issues,

Answer 17

5+2=7=/2=3.5

1+2=3=/2=1.5

Answer 18

d^2 = (5-2)^2 + (1-(-2))^2
d^2 = (3)^2 + (3)^2
d^2 = 9 + 9
d^2 = 18
d = sqrt(18)
d = 4.24
