What is the distance between the points (4,9) and (14, -11)? Round to the
nearest tenth, if necessary.

Respuesta :

Answer: 22.4

Step-by-step explanation:

The distance formula can be used to solve this problem.

[tex]D=\sqrt{(x_{2}-x_{1} )^2+(y_{2}-y_{1} )^2}[/tex]

We can plug in our x and y values to find the distance.

[tex]D=\sqrt{(14-4)^2+(-11-9)^2}[/tex]

[tex]D=\sqrt{10^2+(-20)^2}[/tex]

[tex]D=\sqrt{100+400}[/tex]

[tex]D=\sqrt{500}[/tex]

[tex]D=22.4[/tex]

Our distance between the points is 22.4.
