find the distance between the points to the nearest hundredth! Will give medal and become fan! (: help plz

OpenStudy (ryan123345):

lol :P

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

from -3 to 4 is 7 units from -10 to 9 is 19 units by pythagoras your distance is \[\sqrt{7^2+19^2}\]

OpenStudy (ryan123345):

do u know the distance formula?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

distance= sq root x2 - x1 + y2 - y1 sq.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sorta correct d=square root((x2-x1)^2+(y2-y1)^2)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

remember the brackets and the individual squares

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I got sq root 7sq + 19 sq as my answer!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

now evaluate that

OpenStudy (anonymous):

are you okay? you should leave your answer in sqrt form if it doesn't ask you to do it to the nearest tenth or so.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah! sorry I was busy so I got 49 and and 361 @Chelsea04

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yea, then add them together to get... under the sqrt sign

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I got 410 then do you sq rt that?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

if you want to, but I don't think you need to

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh okay thank you! What about this one?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

They want it to the nearest hundredth, so you have to take the square root of 410

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

where does it say that?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oops, nevermind

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sorry its so blurry!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i got 20.25 for the other one when i sqrt 410(:

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

good, 20.25 is correct and for the next one, use the same formula and keep in mind that the origin is the point (0,0)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay so I do 14sq. + 11sq. ?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

good, add up the two squares of 14 and 11 to get ???

OpenStudy (anonymous):

25! :)

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

no you square first, then add

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

14^2 + 11^2 ?? + ?? ???

OpenStudy (anonymous):

remember the sqrt sign at the end

OpenStudy (anonymous):

317

OpenStudy (anonymous):

17.80

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

then at the end, like Chelsea04 is saying you take the square root of 317 to get your answer

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

yep you got it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yup!!! correct!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thank you!!
