Distance and Midpoint Formulas Quick Check Use the graph to answer the following questions Calculate the distance between points J and K to the nearest whole number (1 point) You are helping to plan a community garden. Sprinklers need to be set up at each end of the garden plot for irrigation, plus one more at the midpoint 6 J = (1, 5) 5 6 3 2 1 0 K = (5, 0) -2 -1 0 1 23 45 6
To find the distance between points J and K, we can use the distance formula:
Distance = √[(x2 - x1)^2 + (y2 - y1)^2]
Plugging in the coordinates of J and K, we get:
Distance = √[(5 - 1)^2 + (0 - 5)^2]
Distance = √[4^2 + (-5)^2]
Distance = √[16 + 25]
Distance = √41
Rounded to the nearest whole number, the distance between points J and K is approximately 6.
