Question

Find the distance between the points (2.7, 5.1) and
(3, 4.7).

Answer 1

Same thing but with Decimals?

Answer 2

O, Its the Distance

Answer 3

Yes
Distance formula =\(\sqrt{(x_2 -x_1)^2 + (y_2- y_1)^2}\)

Answer 4

o

Answer 5

Ye that's the formula.

Answer 6

Yeah so just substitute the points into the equation

Answer 7

What Points go first? I always get Confused on that...

Answer 8

4.7 and 5.1?

Answer 9

Then 3 and 2.7?

Answer 10

You can always start by labeling them on a piece of paper. First label the x points, then the y points. Then label the second set of points as 2, and then the first set as 1.

Answer 11

(2.7, 5.1) and (3, 4.7).

Answer 12

Right?

Answer 13

(2.7, 5.1) and (3, 4.7).

Answer 14

o

Answer 15

\[d = \sqrt{(3 - 2.7)^2 + (3 - 4.7)^2}\]

Answer 16

Right?

Answer 17

Where'd you get two 3's from?

Answer 18

...

Answer 19

Woops.

Answer 20

\[d = \sqrt{(3-2.7)^2 + (4.7-5.1)^2}\]

Answer 21

There?

Answer 22

\[d = \sqrt{(0.3)^2 + (-0.4)^2}\]

Answer 23

\[d = \sqrt{0.09 + (-0.16)}\]

Answer 24

\[d = \sqrt{-0.7}\]

Answer 25

... That's incorrect right @Hero?

Answer 26

It's not correct. Any time you square a number, you should have positive numbers afterwards.
