find the distance between the two points. 8,0 and 0,6. round to the nearest hundredth. please help
Assuming that there is a straight line between the two, 8.0 - 0.6 = ?
yes, there is a straight line
To find the distance between two points in a coordinate plane, you can use the distance formula. The distance formula is derived from the Pythagorean theorem, and it calculates the straight-line distance between two points.
The formula for finding the distance (d) between two points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) is:
d = √((x2 - x1)^2 + (y2 - y1)^2)
Let's use this formula to find the distance between the points (8, 0) and (0, 6):
x1 = 8
y1 = 0
x2 = 0
y2 = 6
Substituting these values into the formula:
d = √((0 - 8)^2 + (6 - 0)^2)
= √((-8)^2 + 6^2)
= √(64 + 36)
= √(100)
= 10
So, the distance between the two points (8, 0) and (0, 6) is 10 units.
To round this distance to the nearest hundredth, we can keep two decimal places. As the distance is already a whole number, there is no need to round it further.
Therefore, the distance between the two points is 10.00 units.
