Question 767993: Dan’s house is north 3 miles and west 3 miles from Amy’s house. Find the distance between Amy’s house (6, –3) and Dan’s house (3, 0).
Answer by Cromlix(4381) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
distance = sqrt (x2 - x1)^2 + (y2 - y1)^2
distance = sqrt (3 - 6)^2 + (0 - (-3))^2
distance = sqrt (9 + 9)
distance = sqrt (18)
distance = 4.2 miles.
Hope this helps.
