Find the distance between point a and b round your answer to the nearest tenth. point a (9,7).b(3,2)
To find the distance between point A(9,7) and B(3,2), we can use the distance formula:
√((x2 - x1)² + (y2 - y1)²)
In this case, x1 = 9, y1 = 7, x2 = 3, and y2 = 2. Substituting these values into the distance formula, we get:
√((3 - 9)² + (2 - 7)²)
= √((-6)² + (-5)²)
= √(36 + 25)
= √61
Rounding this to the nearest tenth, the distance between point A and B is approximately 7.8.
