QuestionGraph a right triangle using points and . Find the distance between them to the nearest tenth.
Studdy Solution
STEP 1
Assumptions1. The two points given, and , form the hypotenuse of a right triangle.
. We need to find the distance between these two points, which is the length of the hypotenuse.
3. The distance is calculated using the Euclidean distance formula.
STEP 2
The Euclidean distance between two points and in a plane is given by the formula
STEP 3
Now, plug in the given values for the points and to calculate the distance.
STEP 4
implify the expression inside the square root.
STEP 5
Calculate the squares inside the square root.
STEP 6
Add the numbers inside the square root.
STEP 7
implify the square root.
STEP 8
If necessary, round the distance to the nearest tenth.
The distance between the two points and is approximately units.
