Answer:
The distance is 7.2 units
Explanation:
The question requires you to find the distance between two points given the coordinates.
The points are C(-2,1) and D ( 4,5)
The formula to apply is :
[tex]d=\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+( y_2-y_1)^2[/tex]
where d is distance between the points, x₁=-2,x₂=4,y₁=1,y₂=5
[tex]d=\sqrt{( 4--2)^2+( 5-1)^2} \\\\d=\sqrt{6^2+4^2} =\sqrt{36+16} =\sqrt{52} =7.21[/tex]
d= 7.2 units {to the nearest tenth place)
