Question

Two students started at the coordinate (0,0). Student A
walked 7 units east and 5 units south. Student B walked
4 units west and 1 unit south. How many units apart are
the students?

Answer 1

Answer:

(7,5) (4,1)= (3,4) might be it Im not really sure

Answer 2

Answer:

$\sqrt{137}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Student A is at point (7, -5). Student B is at point (-4, -1).

We can find the distance between the two points using the distance formula.

$d = \sqrt{(x_2 - x_1)^2 + (y_2 - y_1)^2}$

$d = \sqrt{(-4 - 7)^2 + (-1 - (-5))^2}$

$d = \sqrt{(-11)^2 + (4)^2}$

$d = \sqrt{121 + 16}$

$d = \sqrt{137}$

Answer: $\sqrt{137}$
