Question

Find the distance between the pair of points and then round your answer to the nearest tenth.
(-4,5) and (4.0)
d=(22 – 21) + (92 – 41)?

Answer 1

Answer:

$d = 9.4 units$ (nearest tenth)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the distance formula, $d = \sqrt{(x_2 - x_1)^2 + (y_2 - y_1)^2}$, distance between (-4, 5) and (4, 0) is calculated as follows:

Let $(-4, 5) = (x_1, y_1)$

$(4, 0) = (x_2, y_2)$

$d = \sqrt{(4 - (-4))^2 + (0 - 5)^2}$

$d = \sqrt{(8)^2 + (- 5)^2}$

$d = \sqrt{64 + 25}$

$d = \sqrt{89}$

$d = 9.4 units$ (nearest tenth)
