Find the distance between the two points. (round to the nearest hundredths)
distance:

Answer:
d = 5.10
Step-by-step explanation:
The distance between two points is given by
d = sqrt( ( y2-y1)^2 + ( x2-x1)^2 ) where ( x1,y1) and ( x2,y2) are the two points
d = sqrt( ( 5-6)^2 + (8-3)^2 )
d = sqrt( ( -1)^2 + (5)^2 )
d = sqrt( 1+25)
d = sqrt(26)
d = 5.099019514
Rounding to the nearest hundredth
d = 5.10
Answer:
[tex]d=\sqrt{26}\approx5.10[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the distance between any two points, we can use the distance formula:
[tex]d=\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2[/tex]
We can see that Point R is at (3,6), and Point E is at (8,5).
Let's let (3,6) be (x₁, y₁) and let's let (8,5) be (x₂, y₂). So, substituting them into our formula, we'll get:
[tex]d=\sqrt{(8-3)^2+(5-6)^2[/tex]
Subtract:
[tex]d=\sqrt{(5)^2+(-1)^2[/tex]
Square:
[tex]d=\sqrt{25+1}[/tex]
Add:
[tex]d=\sqrt{26}[/tex]
Approximate. Use a calculator:
[tex]d=\sqrt{26}\approx5.10[/tex]
So, the distance between RE is approximately 5.1 units.
And we're done!
