Question 218218
Two points in a rectangular coordinate sys-
tem have the coordinates (5.7 cm, 7.2 cm) and
(−3.1 cm, 6.4 cm).
Find the distance between these points.
Answer in units of cm.
-----------
P1 (5.7,7.2)
P2 (-3.1,6.4)
{{{s = sqrt(diffy^2 + diffx^2)}}}
{{{s = sqrt(0.8^2 + 8.8^2)}}}
{{{s = sqrt(0.64 + 77.44)}}}
{{{s = sqrt(78.08)}}}
s =~ 8.836 cm
