To find the distance between two points, we use the distance formula:
Distance = √((x2 - x1)^2 + (y2 - y1)^2)
In this case, (x1, y1) = (6, 2) and (x2, y2) = (4, 1). Plugging these values into the distance formula, we get:
Distance = √((4 - 6)^2 + (1 - 2)^2)
Distance = √((-2)^2 + (-1)^2)
Distance = √(4 + 1)
Distance = √5
Therefore, the distance between the points (6, 2) and (4, 1) is approximately 2.2 to the nearest tenth.
