Question

Find the distance between points M(6,16) and Z(-1, 14) to the nearest tenth. Show steps please.

Answer 1

do you know the distance formula between two points?

Answer 2

Nope

Answer 3

to find the distance between two point use the distance formula:\[D=\sqrt{(x _{2}-x _{1})^2+(y _{2}-y _{1})^2}\]

Answer 4

just substitute your points for example (a,b) are your first coordinates then they will be your \[(x _{1},y _{1})\] (c,d) are your second coordinates they will be your \[(x _{2},y _{2})\]

Answer 5

So (-1-6)^2+(14-16)^2

Answer 6

-7^2+-2^2 or 49+4

Answer 7

the answer should be \[D=\sqrt{53}\]

Answer 8

Okay I think I get it, thanks :)

Answer 9

7.280109889 in decimal form

Answer 10

it says `Find the distance ... to the nearest tenth`

so you'll have to convert to decimal form and round

Answer 11

7.280109889 just round this to the nearest tenth , then BOOM .. you're done
