find the distance between (5,8) and (9,1) round to the nearest tenth
To find the distance between two points (x₁, y₁) and (x₂, y₂), you can use the distance formula:
Distance = √[(x₂ - x₁)² + (y₂ - y₁)²]
In this case, the points are (5, 8) and (9, 1):
Distance = √[(9 - 5)² + (1 - 8)²]
= √[4² + (-7)²]
= √[16 + 49]
= √65
≈ 8.1 (rounded to the nearest tenth)
Therefore, the distance between (5, 8) and (9, 1) is approximately 8.1 units.
