Question

Use the Pythagorean Theorem to find the distance to the nearest tenth, between F(9, 5) and G(-2, 2). (Hint: Place F and G on the coordinate plane. Then sketch a triangle with FG as the hypotenuse.)

Answer 1

Here is our triangle.
We want to find the distance \(d\).

Understand how I labeled those lengths? :o
The horizontal lines show how far we traveled along the x direction.
