Question

PLEASE HELP!! Fan and Medal.

Answer 1

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

I have found two different answers. 5.4 and 7.3
Which is correct?

Answer 2

Work for 5.4 outcome -
C = the square root of (6 – (-1))^2 + (16 – 14)^2
Simplify
C = the square root of (5)^2 + (2)^2
Simplify
C = the square root of 25 + 4
Simplify
C = the square root of 29
The square root of 29 is about 5.4
The distance between points M and Z = 5.4

Answer 3

Work for 7.3 outcome -
C = the square root of (-1 – 6)^2 + (14 – 16)^2
Simplify
C = the square root of (-7)^2 + (-2)^2
Simplify
C = the square root of 49 + 4
C = the square root of 53
The square root of 53 is about 7.3
The distance between points M and Z = 7.3

Answer 4

@triciaal

Answer 5

(x^1-x^2)/2 and (y^1-y^2)/2 for the first one, so itll be 6+1/2 and 16-14/2

Answer 6

7/2 and 2 should be what you get from that

Answer 7

So about 5.4 is correct?

Answer 8

then add the two numbers up to get the distance between point M and point Z

Answer 9

Oh.
I messed up a step.

Answer 10

so itll be 3.4+2= your distance

Answer 11

C = the square root of (6 – (-1))^2 + (16 – 14)^2
Simplify
C = the square root of (7)^2 + (2)^2
Simplify
C = the square root of 49 + 4
Simplify
C = the square root of 53
The square root of 53 is about 7.3
The distance between points M and Z = 7.3

Answer 12

i was never taught to do those steps to find the distance between two points
i showed you what i was taught how to do it

Answer 13

Oh okay. That's fine. But the outcome is 7.3. Right?

Answer 14

i said youll add 3.4 and 2

Answer 15

3.5*

Answer 16

Oh okay. Sorry. Thanks so much!
