Studdy Solution

STEP 1

Assumptions1. The points are given in the Cartesian coordinate system. . The first point is (,10)(,-10).
3. The second point is (13,18)(13,18).
4. The distance formula in two dimensions is d = \sqrt{(x - x1)^ + (y - y1)^}.

STEP 2

Let's denote the first point as (x1,y1)(x1, y1) and the second point as (x2,y2)(x2, y2). We can then substitute these values into the distance formula.
d=(x2x1)2+(y2y1)2d = \sqrt{(x2 - x1)^2 + (y2 - y1)^2}

STEP 3

Substitute the given values into the formula.
d=(132)2+(18(10))2d = \sqrt{(13 -2)^2 + (18 - (-10))^2}

STEP 4

implify the expressions inside the square root.
d=(11)2+(28)2d = \sqrt{(11)^2 + (28)^2}

STEP 5

Calculate the squares.
d=121+784d = \sqrt{121 +784}

STEP 6

Add the numbers under the square root.
d=905d = \sqrt{905}This is the exact distance between the points (2,10)(2,-10) and (13,18)(13,18).

STEP 7

To find the distance rounded to1 decimal place, we need to take the square root of905.
d90530.1d \approx \sqrt{905} \approx30.1The distance between the points (2,10)(2,-10) and (13,18)(13,18) rounded to1 decimal place is approximately30.1 units.
