distance formula
ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
distance = \(\sqrt{(x2-x1)^2 + (y2-y1)^2}\)
ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
A (3,-2) to point B (7, 1)
x1 y1 x2 y2

okay what about (3√7, 2√5) to point B (5√7, 5√5)
ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
same formula
ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
dont get distracted wid the radical signs. they will go away once u take square
OpenStudy (mathisfun13):
okay
ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
start by plugging them in the formula

i got (2√7) +(3 √5)
ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
thats not all... keep going...
OpenStudy (mathisfun13):
how do u square that tho?
ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
\(\sqrt{ (2√7)^2 +(3 √5)^2}\)
OpenStudy (mathisfun13):
do i square only the 7 and the 5?

\((2\sqrt{7})^2\)
ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
square applies to both \(2\) and \(\sqrt{7}\)
ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
\((2\sqrt{7})^2 = 2^2\sqrt{7} ^2\)
OpenStudy (mathisfun13):
4√49+9√25
ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
thats right !

but u can simplify more
ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
\(\sqrt{49} = ?\)

yes

how do i put that in decimal form rounded to the nearest hundredth?
ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
\(\sqrt{ (2√7)^2 +(3 √5)^2}\)
\(\sqrt{ 4 (7) +9(5)}\)
ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
\(\sqrt{ (2√7)^2 +(3 √5)^2}\)
\(\sqrt{ 4 (7) +9(5)}\)
\(\sqrt{ 28 +45}\)
ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
\(\sqrt{ (2√7)^2 +(3 √5)^2}\)
\(\sqrt{ 4 (7) +9(5)}\)
\(\sqrt{ 28 +45}\)
\(\sqrt{73}\)

use ur calculator and find \(\sqrt{73}\)
OpenStudy (mathisfun13):
i got 73
ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
yes, take square root of it
OpenStudy (mathisfun13):
so √73?
ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
yes, do u have calculator ?

yess
OpenStudy (mathisfun13):
thats what it showed me. so then .73?
ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
good :) take square root of 73 and see wat u get
ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
|dw:1371532770688:dw|
ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
On ur calculator keys, you should see a symbol like that...

thats the symbol for square root.
OpenStudy (mathisfun13):
okay. i got 8.544003745317351
ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
how do i put that in decimal form rounded to the nearest hundredth?
ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
thats the decimal form. now you still need to round it to hundredth
ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
8.544003745317351
