If each unit represents 10 inches, what is the actual distance between B and D? (1 point)
B (-5,4)
D (3,-2)
To find the distance between two points, we can use the distance formula:
d = √((x₂ - x₁)² + (y₂ - y₁)²)
Using the given coordinates of points B and D:
x₁ = -5
y₁ = 4
x₂ = 3
y₂ = -2
Plugging in these values into the distance formula:
d = √((3 - (-5))² + (-2 - 4)²)
= √(8² + (-6)²)
= √(64 + 36)
= √100
= 10
Since each unit represents 10 inches, the actual distance between B and D is 10 inches.
