Without the coordinates or any context provided for points A and B, it is impossible to determine the distance between them.
5 ,-3 2,7
Using the coordinates provided, we can calculate the distance between points A(5,-3) and B(2,7) using the distance formula.
The distance formula is given by:
d = √((x2 - x1)^2 + (y2 - y1)^2)
Plugging in the values, we get:
d = √((2 - 5)^2 + (7 - (-3))^2)
= √((-3)^2 + (7 + 3)^2)
= √(9 + 100)
= √109
≈ 10.44
Therefore, the distance between points A and B is approximately 10.4 units.
To find the distance between two points, A and B, we can use the distance formula. The distance formula is derived from the Pythagorean theorem and states that the distance between two points (x₁, y₁) and (x₂, y₂) in a two-dimensional Cartesian coordinate system is given by the formula:
d = √[(x₂ - x₁)² + (y₂ - y₁)²]
In this case, since we want to find the distance to the nearest tenth of a unit, we need to approximate the result.
Since we don't have the coordinates for points A and B, we cannot calculate the distance directly. Therefore, we cannot determine the exact result. Without the coordinates, it is impossible to provide the accurate answer.
