Question

What is the distance between points R and S, to the nearest tenth of a unit? A. 6.3 B. 7.2 C. 14.4 D. 20.0

Answer 1

Answer:

Distance of RS = 14.4 units (Approx)

Step-by-step explanation:

Co-ordinate

R (-8, -6)

S (4, 2)

Find:

Distance of RS

Computation:

Distance = √(x1 - x2)² + (y1 - y2)²

Distance of RS = √(-8 - 4)² + (-6 - 2)²

Distance of RS = √144 + 64

Distance of RS = √208

Distance of RS = 14.4 units (Approx)
