Math Problem Statement
find the distance between each pair of points. rounds your answer to the nearest tenth
Solution
To find the distance between each pair of points shown in the images, we will use the distance formula:
Analysis of Each Image:
-
First Image:
- Points: and
- These points lie on a horizontal line, so the distance is simply the difference in the -coordinates.
-
Second Image:
- Points: and
- Again, these points lie on a horizontal line, and the distance is the difference in the -coordinates.
-
Third Image:
- Points: and
- These points do not lie on a horizontal or vertical line, so we will use the full distance formula.
Calculations:
- Distance between and :
- Distance between and :
- Distance between and :
Final Answers:
- The distance between and is 4.0.
- The distance between and is 8.0.
- The distance between and is 7.2 (rounded to the nearest tenth).
