please help mee find the distance between points m(6,16) and z(-1,14) to the nearst tenth.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

can u help me i not know what im doing

OpenStudy (nikato):

wait, this is the distance formula \[\sqrt{(x _{2}-x _{1)^{2}+(y _{2}-y _{1)^{2}}}}\]

OpenStudy (nikato):

and you have your points (x1,y1)=(6,16) and (x2,y2)=(-1,14)

OpenStudy (nikato):

plug them into the formula, you get \[\sqrt{(6-(-1))^{2}+ (16-14)^{2}}\]

OpenStudy (nikato):

and just solve

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so my answer will be 7^2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

or 7.3

OpenStudy (nikato):

yea. around 7.3 unless if you were told to leave it in roots which will be the sqrt53

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thx u

OpenStudy (nikato):

no problem
