Question

What is the distance between P(-4,3) and Q(6,1). Round tot he nearest tenth

Answer 1

for (a,b) and (c,d) the distance is \(D=\sqrt{(a-c)^2+(b-d)^2}\)

Answer 2

so what do i puyt in place of the letters in the formula

Answer 3

@zzr0ck3r

Answer 4

well instead of (a,b) and (c,d)
you have (-4,3) and (6,1)

Answer 5

so
a=-4
b=3
c=6
d=1

Answer 6

ok thanks

Answer 7

hold on a secx thoe k

Answer 8

so subtract and then divide

Answer 9

what? there is no divide

Answer 10

ok so sybtract nd add

Answer 11

-4 - 3=-7 an 6-1=5

Answer 12

so do i add -7+5

Answer 13

answer would be -12 right

Answer 14

where did you get -7?

Answer 15

i didnt say (a-b) I said (a-c)

Answer 16

ohh lol my bad i mean -4 -3=-1

Answer 17

\(\sqrt{(-4-6)^2+(3-1)^2}=\sqrt{(-10)^2+2^2}= \sqrt{100+4}=\sqrt{104}\)

Answer 18

umm u sure thats right because i did it a didffrent way

Answer 19

(a-c) = (-4-6) = -10

Answer 20

so for the first one is -10

Answer 21

so i add that to what

Answer 22

the lasy part

Answer 23

\(\sqrt{(-4-6)^2+(3-1)^2}=\sqrt{(-10)^2+2^2}= \sqrt{100+4}=\sqrt{104}\approx10.2\)

Answer 24

specifically what part?

Answer 25

squared 100+4= squareed 104

Answer 26

what is 100+4?

Answer 27

thas what u put squared 100+4

Answer 28

\(\sqrt{100+4}=\sqrt{104}\)

Answer 29

yea that

Answer 30

all I did was add 4 to 100

Answer 31

I think you might need to go back a few chapters and catch up.

Answer 32

ohhh 10.2 is the answer

Answer 33

correct

Answer 34

Are these the steps:
1. Take the Absolute Difference between the two X points, -4 and 6. The Absolute Difference is 10.
2. Square that number. 10 Squared is 100
3. Take the Absolute Difference between the two Y points 3 and 1. The absolute Difference is 2.
4. Square that number. 2 Squared is 4.
5. Add the two. 100 plus 4 is 104
6. take the Square Root of 104.

The final answer is 10.1980390272

Rounded to the nearest Tenth. 10.2

Answer 35

\(\sqrt{104}=\sqrt{4*26}=\sqrt{4}\sqrt{26}=2\sqrt{26}\approx 10.2\)

Answer 36

yea
