Find the distance between points M(6,16)
and Z(−1,14)
to the nearest tenth.
To find the distance between two points, we can use the distance formula:
Distance = √((x2 - x1)^2 + (y2 - y1)^2)
Using the points M(6,16) and Z(-1,14), we can substitute the values into the formula:
Distance = √((-1 - 6)^2 + (14 - 16)^2)
Simplifying:
Distance = √((-7)^2 + (-2)^2)
Distance = √(49 + 4)
Distance = √53
To find the distance to the nearest tenth, we can round √53 to the nearest tenth:
Distance ≈ 7.3
Therefore, the distance between points M(6,16) and Z(-1,14) is approximately 7.3 units.
To find the distance between points M(6,16) and Z(-1,14), we can use the distance formula.
The distance formula is:
d = √((x2 - x1)^2 + (y2 - y1)^2)
Let's substitute the given values into the formula.
x1 = 6
y1 = 16
x2 = -1
y2 = 14
d = √((-1 - 6)^2 + (14 - 16)^2)
Now we can simplify the equation.
d = √((-7)^2 + (-2)^2)
d = √(49 + 4)
d = √53
The distance between points M(6,16) and Z(-1,14) is approximately √53 to the nearest tenth.
To find the distance between two points, M(6,16) and Z(−1,14), we can use the distance formula.
The distance formula is:
d = √((x2 - x1)^2 + (y2 - y1)^2)
Let's plug in the values:
x1 = 6
y1 = 16
x2 = -1
y2 = 14
Now we can calculate the distance:
d = √((-1 - 6)^2 + (14 - 16)^2)
= √((-7)^2 + (-2)^2)
= √(49 + 4)
= √53
To find the distance to the nearest tenth, we need to round the result to one decimal place.
The distance between points M(6,16) and Z(−1,14) is approximately 7.3 units.
