Question 926236: Please help me to solve this equation using the Pythagorean theorem. Here is the question: Find the distance between two points. If an answer contains a radical, give an exact answer and an approximation to the nearest Hundredth:
(-2, -5) and (6,-6)
Answer by rothauserc(4718) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
We are asked for the distance(d) between the two points, (-2, -5) and (6,-6)
d = square root( (6-(-2))^2 + (-6 -(-5))^2)
d = square root( 8^2 + (-1)^2 )
d = square root(65) = 8.062257748
