will fan and give medal, how do I do 2-5???? attached below

OpenStudy (nightmarenight):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is it coordinates?

OpenStudy (nightmarenight):

no, trying to find the distance

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what question

OpenStudy (nightmarenight):

2,3,4, and 5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

count the numbers in between?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what is the question?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sorry cant help

OpenStudy (nightmarenight):

@Walker1127 that's not how it's done, I tried that. @Hermitberg look at the photo

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i couldn't see a (2,-5) or whatever

OpenStudy (anonymous):

me either im sorry

OpenStudy (nightmarenight):

@Mimi_x3

OpenStudy (nightmarenight):

@perl

OpenStudy (perl):

you can use the distance formula

OpenStudy (nightmarenight):

what is that? @perl

OpenStudy (acxbox22):

well seeing you answered the first question correctly just use the distance formula to get your answer in simplest radical form then put it in a calculator

OpenStudy (perl):

2. Find the distance between points A(-4,-4) and C(2,1). ----------------------------------------------------- Formula for distance between points (x1,y1), (x2,y2) is: distance = sqrt( (x2 - x1 )^2 + (y2 - y1)^2 ) Plug in given points distance = sqrt( (2 - (-4))^2 + (1 - (-4))^2 )

OpenStudy (camerondoherty):

Clearer: \[d=\sqrt{( (2 - (-4))^2 + (1 - (-4))^2 }\]

OpenStudy (nightmarenight):

I'm still confused @____@

OpenStudy (nightmarenight):

@perl it's finding the length of the side right?

OpenStudy (perl):

finding the length of the line segment connecting A and C

OpenStudy (nightmarenight):

Ohh, okay

OpenStudy (nightmarenight):

I don't understand how to do the bottom equation?

OpenStudy (camerondoherty):

Solve all of the terms inside of the square root, then find the sqrt of the solution.

OpenStudy (nightmarenight):

I got 3.3

OpenStudy (camerondoherty):

Not quite... What is 2 + 4?

OpenStudy (perl):

hint: sqrt( (2 - (-4))^2 + (1 - (-4))^2 ) = sqrt ( ( 2 + 4)^2 + (1 + 4) ^2 )

OpenStudy (nightmarenight):

um. 6

OpenStudy (camerondoherty):

Ok, what is 1 + 4?

OpenStudy (nightmarenight):

5

OpenStudy (camerondoherty):

Exactly: Now we have: \[\sqrt{(6)^2+(5)^2}\] Can you solve that?

OpenStudy (camerondoherty):

How about this What is 6 times 6? What is 5 times 5?

OpenStudy (nightmarenight):

36 + 25

OpenStudy (nightmarenight):

squared is 7.8

OpenStudy (camerondoherty):

Yup! Thats the distance!

OpenStudy (nightmarenight):

36 + 25 = 61and 61 squared is 7.8

OpenStudy (nightmarenight):

WTF that was so easy???? why couldn't i get it before? ;___;
