Question

What is the distance between (4.9, 2.9) and (-3.0, 4.9)?

Answer 1

`sqrt66.41` or `~~8.15`

Explanation:

The distance between two points is shown by the formula:
`d = sqrt((x_2-x_1)^2 + (y_2-y_1)^2)`

We have the values for the two coordinates, so we can substitute them into the distance formula:
`d = sqrt((4.9 - 2.9)^2 + (-3.0 - 4.9)^2)`

And now we simplify:
`d = sqrt((2)^2 + (-7.9)^2)`

`d = sqrt(4 + 62.41)`

`d = sqrt(66.41)`

If you want the exact distance, you can leave it as `sqrt66.41`, but if you want it in decimal form, it is `~~8.15` (rounded to nearest hundredth's place).

Hope this helps!
