Find the distance between points p(8, 2) and q(3, 8) to the nearest tenth.
Solution:
Given, the points are p (8, 2) and q (3, 8)
We have to find the distance between the points to the nearest tenth.
The distance formula is given by
d=√(x2−x1)2+(y2−y1)2
Here, x₁ = 8, x₂ = 3, y₁ = 2 and y₂ = 8
d=√(3−8)2+(8−2)2
d=√(−5)2+(6)2
d=√25+36
d = √61
d = 7.81
d = 7.9 ( nearest tenth)
Therefore, the required distance between the given points is 7.9.
Find the distance between points p(8, 2) and q(3, 8) to the nearest tenth.
Summary:
The distance between points p (8, 2) and q (3, 8) to the nearest tenth is 7.9
