What is the distance between points (3, 1) and (0, –5)? Round to the nearest tenth.
distance=sqrt((3-0)^2 + (1-5)^2) I am not exactly what that 5 is in your statement, I assumed plus five).
Find the distance between points P(3,2) and Q(6,6)to the nearest tenth
To find the distance between two points in a coordinate plane, we can use the distance formula, which is based on the Pythagorean Theorem.
The distance formula is given by:
d = √((x2 - x1)² + (y2 - y1)²)
Where (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) are the coordinates of the two points.
In this case, we have the points (3, 1) and (0, -5).
Using the distance formula, let's calculate the distance:
d = √((0 - 3)² + (-5 - 1)²)
d = √((-3)² + (-6)²)
d = √(9 + 36)
d = √(45)
To round to the nearest tenth, we can use a calculator or round manually. The square root of 45 is approximately 6.71 when rounded to the nearest tenth.
Therefore, the distance between the points (3, 1) and (0, -5) is approximately 6.71 units.
