Answer:
Right Triangle, the distance between these two coordinates is 5.83 in whatever unit you're measuring.
Step-by-step explanation:
Generally when you're using triangles to find the distance between two graphed points, you're using a right triangle.
[tex]9 + 25 = 34\\\sqrt{34}=5.83[/tex]The reason behind that being you can draw lines on the x and y axis of these points and find where they connect. After doing so, you can directly connect the two points and create a right triangle.
To find the distance between the two points using a right triangle, we can use the formula for the hypotenuse: [tex]a^2 + b^2=c^2[/tex]
A and B is the distance between the point and where the lines you've drawn intersect. C is the resulting distance between the two points.
Plugging in A and B, which is 3 and 5, we can find C. 3 squared is 9 and 5 squared is 25.
[tex]3^2 + 5^2 = 9 + 25[/tex]
Now we add the two and find the square root.
[tex]9+25=34\\\sqrt{34} =5.83[/tex]
Your answer is 5.83
