For some of these, you could use the good old Pythagorean theorem to find the distance between the points. For example, between W and X, you go to the right 4 units and down 2 units. We could imaging a right triangle with legs 4 and 2; this lets us find the length of the third "leg", which is also the distance between W and X. 4^2+2^2 = c^2; 16+4 = c^2; 20 = c^2; c would be between 4 and 5, around 4.5 It's just like Florisalreadytaken explained in their image. Very nice notes, I might add.
what about the first one
would it be 4.47
For WX, it's probably easiest to use Pythagorean theorem, like in the picture. And your calculations are spot-on! 4.47 it is
with it all together it would be a deimal with .47 right
so 14.47
Yup, that's what you get when you add all the sides together!
thanks so much guys
