Find the distance between points P(2, 2) and Q(7, 4) to the nearest tenth.
To find the distance between two points, we can use the distance formula:
Distance = √((x2 - x1)^2 + (y2 - y1)^2)
In this case, the coordinates of point P are (2, 2), and the coordinates of point Q are (7, 4).
Now, plug in the values into the distance formula:
Distance = √((7 - 2)^2 + (4 - 2)^2)
Simplifying further:
Distance = √((5)^2 + (2)^2)
Distance = √(25 + 4)
Distance = √29
To approximate the distance to the nearest tenth, we can evaluate √29 as a decimal.
The approximate value of √29 is 5.4.
Therefore, the distance between points P(2, 2) and Q(7, 4) is approximately 5.4 units to the nearest tenth.
Just use your distance formula to get
√((7-2)^2 + (4-2)^2) = √29
