Find the distance between A (5,8) and B (9,1) Round your answer to the nearest tenth.
The distance is about blank units
The distance between points A (5, 8) and B (9, 1) can be found using the distance formula:
Distance = √[(x₂ - x₁)² + (y₂ - y₁)²]
Plugging in the given coordinates, we have:
Distance = √[(9 - 5)² + (1 - 8)²]
Distance = √[4² + (-7)²]
Distance = √[16 + 49]
Distance = √65
Distance ≈ 8.1
The distance between points A and B is approximately 8.1 units.
