Find the distance between the points (-1.4,2.2) and (-1.2,3.4)?

Question

Round your answer to the nearest tenth

Answer 1

1.2
Find the absolute value of the difference between the two X points (-1.4- (-1.2)=|0.2|=0.2)
and the two Y points (2.2-3.4=|-1.2|=1.2).
Now use the Pathagoreum Theorum (a^2+b^2)^0.5=c
((0.2)^2 + (1.2)^2)^0.5=(0.04+1.44)^0.5=1.48^0.5=1.2
(to the nearest tenth).

Answer 2

1.22
y=0.2
x=1.2
z= sqrt(xsquare +ysquare)= sqrt(.2sq+1.2sq)=1.21
