hartnn (hartnn):

can u find the distance between those 2 points ?

hartnn (hartnn):

Distance between points (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) is \(\huge d=\sqrt{(x_1-x_2)^2+(y_1-y_2)^2}\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

one moment

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its not x2-x1?

hartnn (hartnn):

it doesn't matter. x1-x2 and x2-x1 will give u same answer, (because it is squared)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okies, one sec :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\sqrt{146}\]

hartnn (hartnn):

121+25=146, yes thats correct. that is your diameter, how do u find radius from it?

hartnn (hartnn):

distance between endpoints of dia, gave u length of diameter

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Im not sure :s

hartnn (hartnn):

Diameter = 2* radius so u have diameter = \(\sqrt{146}\) so, radius = ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

24.17?

hartnn (hartnn):

did u double the diameter? no, you should divide the diameter by 2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

6.042?

hartnn (hartnn):

that is correct radius :) did u clearly understand all steps ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes, i was writing them down as we went along. Havent done this kind of math in so long. When it says round that to the nearest hundredth what would it be? o.0

hartnn (hartnn):

means u keep just 2 digits after decimal point. here, 6.04

hartnn (hartnn):

round to nearest hundredth, 2 digits after decimal point round to nearest thousandth, 3 digits after decimal point

Ok thanks! :)

hartnn (hartnn):

welcome ^_^
