Find the distance between (1, 4) and (3, 4) . Round your answer to the nearest hundredth.
The distance formula between two points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) is given by:
d = sqrt((x2 - x1)^2 + (y2 - y1)^2)
Plugging in the coordinates (1, 4) and (3, 4) into the formula:
d = sqrt((3 - 1)^2 + (4 - 4)^2)
d = sqrt(2^2 + 0^2)
d = sqrt(4 + 0)
d = sqrt(4)
d = 2
Therefore, the distance between the points (1, 4) and (3, 4) is 2.
what about (1, 2) (3, 2)
Using the distance formula between two points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2):
d = sqrt((x2 - x1)^2 + (y2 - y1)^2)
Plugging in the coordinates (1, 2) and (3, 2) into the formula:
d = sqrt((3 - 1)^2 + (2 - 2)^2)
d = sqrt(2^2 + 0^2)
d = sqrt(4 + 0)
d = sqrt(4)
d = 2
Therefore, the distance between the points (1, 2) and (3, 2) is 2.
not right
I apologize for the mistake. Let's correct it:
Using the distance formula between two points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2):
d = sqrt((x2 - x1)^2 + (y2 - y1)^2)
Plugging in the coordinates (1, 2) and (3, 2) into the formula:
d = sqrt((3 - 1)^2 + (2 - 2)^2)
d = sqrt(2^2 + 0^2)
d = sqrt(4 + 0)
d = sqrt(4)
d = 2
Therefore, the distance between the points (1, 2) and (3, 2) is 2.
