Hi. I need to find the distance between the two points and then round the answer to the nearest hundredth.
(8,4) and (18, 28). Thank you so much.
distance between 2 points (a,b) and (c,d)
= √[(a-c)^2 + (b-d)^2]
= √[(18-8)^2 + (28-4)^2]
= ...
can you finish it? ( got 26)
I am supposed to round 26 to the hundredth place however there this number is the tens place so I rounded it down to 0. Not sure if that's right?? thanks
To find the distance between two points, you can use the distance formula:
Distance = sqrt[(x2 - x1)^2 + (y2 - y1)^2]
In this case, the two points are (8, 4) and (18, 28).
Let's label the first point as (x1, y1) and the second point as (x2, y2).
So, x1 = 8, y1 = 4, x2 = 18, and y2 = 28.
Plugging these values into the distance formula, we have:
Distance = sqrt[(18 - 8)^2 + (28 - 4)^2]
= sqrt[10^2 + 24^2]
= sqrt[100 + 576]
= sqrt[676]
= 26
The distance between the two points is 26 units.
To round the answer to the nearest hundredth, the nearest hundredth of a whole number is the whole number itself. So, in this case, the answer remains as 26.
