Find the distance between point A (4,1) and B (20,13). Round your answer to the nearest tenth
To find the distance between two points, we use the distance formula:
d = √((x2 - x1)^2 + (y2 - y1)^2)
Where (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) are the coordinates of the two points.
For point A (4,1), x1 = 4 and y1 = 1.
For point B (20,13), x2 = 20 and y2 = 13.
Now, we can plug these values into the distance formula:
d = √((20 - 4)^2 + (13 - 1)^2)
= √(16^2 + 12^2)
= √(256 + 144)
= √400
= 20
So, the distance between point A (4,1) and B (20,13) is 20.
