Question

Point R is at (2, 1.2) and Point T is at (2, 2.5) on a coordinate grid. The distance between the two points is ____. (Input numbers and decimal point only, such as 8.2.)

Answer 1

You need the distance formula
\[\huge~\rm~\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}\]

Answer 2

Then you have to do the math :)

Answer 3

x1= 2
x2=2
y1=1.2
y2=2.5
\[\huge~\rm~\sqrt{(2-2)^2+(2.5-1.2)^2}\]

Answer 4

Solve

Answer 5

i still dont understand

Answer 6

Ok are you fimiliar with the distance formula?

Answer 7

nope

Answer 8

the distance formula
\[\huge~\rm~\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}\]
We are trying to figure out the distance between the 2 point right? This formula will help us find the distance understood?

Answer 9

ok

Answer 10

So you do know that a coordinate is set up like this right?
(x,y) <---

Answer 11

yea

Answer 12

Ok next we need know that this is how we determine what goes where....
(x1,y1)(x2,y2)
understood?

Answer 13

@nomymalik

Answer 14

x1= 2
x2=2
y1=1.2
y2=2.5
\[\huge~\rm~\sqrt{(2-2)^2+(2.5-1.2)^2}\]
Here i have just used the numbers given in the directions ad substituted them into the formulathat i showed you earlier (distance formula)

Answer 15

From here you can solve it using a calculator or by hand whatever floats your boat :P let me know what you get :)
