Question 79053
I need help please. I'm to find the distance between each pair of points and approximate the distance to two decimal places. (1.7,-3.6) and (-8.6,5.7)
The formula for distance is:
{{{highlight(d=sqrt((x[2]-x[1])^2+(y[2]-y[1])^2))}}}, where d=distance, (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) are the given points.
(x1,y1)=(1.7,-3.6) and (x2,y2)=(-8.6,5.7)
{{{d=sqrt((-8.6-1.7)^2+(5.7-(-3.6))^2)}}}
{{{d=sqrt((-10.3)^2+(9.3)^2)}}}
{{{d=sqrt(106.09+86.49)}}}
{{{d=sqrt(192.58)}}}
{{{d=13.87731963}}}
{{{highlight(d=13.88)}}}
Happy Calculating!!!
