On a cm grid, point P has coordinates (3, -1) and point Q has coordinates (-5, 6). Calculate the shortest distance between P and Q. Give your answer to 1 decimal place.

Respuesta :

Answer:

In coordinates  of points P(3,-1) and Q(-5,6) by using distance formula:-

root of (x2-x1)2 + (y2-y1)2 we can find the distance between P and Q.

Step-by-step explanation:

By using the above formula,

PQ= root of(-5-3) the whole square + [6-(-1)] the whole square

when you find the square of it you will get root of 64 +49 which is equal to root of 113.

Now by prime factorization of 113 is not possible since 113 is a prime no.

So the answer in 1 decimal place will be  when we divide 113/5 we get 22.6.

This might be the solution to your answer.

Answer:

PQ=10.6
