Answer 5

how did you get 15.8 ?

Answer 6

My friend said that took the square root and then add

Answer 7

Could you show your work /

Answer 8

hold on I'll ask the steps

Answer 9

My friend said the square root of 52 is 7.2+8.6=15.8
I said that since it was distance It would be 10-1^2+3-6^2, 9^2+-3^2, 81+9, square root of 90=9.4 but my friend said that her answer is correct

Answer 10

are neither of us correct is my friend correct

Answer 11

or me

Answer 12

do you just want the answer ?

Answer 13

no, I'm saying if both of us aren't correct what do I have to do, I've already tried the distance formula

Answer 14

try it again

Answer 15

whats the distance formula ?

Answer 16

x2-x1^2 +y2-y1^2

Answer 17

wrong

Answer 18

careful about using parenthesis correctly

Answer 19

also you're missing a sqrt

Answer 21

-6-1+3-10
-7^2+-7^2
49+49=98
sqrt 98=9.89

Answer 22

Wrong

Answer 23

Lets do this step by step maybe ?

Answer 24

okay

Answer 25

You want to find the distance between points

(1, -6) and (10, 3)

Answer 26

distance formula
\[\sqrt{(\color{red}{x_2-x_1})^2+(\color{blue}{y_2-y_1})^2}\]

Answer 27

whats the value of \(\color{red}{x_2-x_1}\) here ?

Answer 28

-6-1

Answer 29

Careful, you need to subtract the respective x coordinates.

Answer 30

but you're subtracting x coordinate from the y coordinate

Answer 31

that is wrong, try again

Answer 32

oh I know why I was messing up I was using the y coordinate,
10-1

Answer 33

good,
\[\color{red}{x_2-x_1} = \color{red}{10-1}\]

Answer 34

10-1^2 - 3--6^2
9^2-9^2
81-81

Answer 35

wait I think I messed up somewhere

Answer 36

(10-1)^2 \(\color{red}{+}\) (3--6)^2
9^2 \(\color{red}{+}\) 9^2
81 \(\color{red}{+}\) 81

Answer 37

don't forget to take the sqrt in the end

Answer 38

distance is 12.72

Answer 39

nearest tenth it would be 12.7

Answer 40

oh okay thank you so much,
I have done my other questions but will you check them?

Answer 41
