find the distances between the points H(15,-3) and G(-10,-1). round to the nearest tenth,if necessary.
-3 - (-1) = -2
15 - (-10) = 25
sqrt (4 + 625) = sqrt (665 ) = 25.8
whoops added wrong
sqrt (629) = 25.07 = 25.1
is the answer 25.07? or 25.1?
The nearest tenth is 25.1
what to do now im bored
To find the distance between two points in a coordinate plane, we use the distance formula:
Distance = √((x₂-x₁)² + (y₂-y₁)²)
In this case, the coordinates of point H are (15, -3) and the coordinates of point G are (-10, -1).
Using the distance formula, we can substitute the given values into the formula:
Distance = √((-10-15)² + (-1-(-3))²)
Simplifying further:
Distance = √((-25)² + (2)²)
Distance = √(625 + 4)
Distance = √(629)
To round the answer to the nearest tenth, we can use a calculator or manually approximate the square root value:
Distance ≈ 25.1
Therefore, the distance between points H(15, -3) and G(-10, -1) is approximately 25.1 units, rounded to the nearest tenth.
