Q:

What is the the distance between the points (23,-33) and (4,9)? if necessary, round your answer to two decimal places.

Accepted Solution

A:
Given two points:
A(x₁,y₁)
B(xβ‚‚,yβ‚‚)

The distance between these points will be:
dis(A,B)=√((xβ‚‚-x₁)Β² + (yβ‚‚-y₁)Β²)

In this case the points are:
A(23,-33)
B(4,9)

And it distance would be:

Dis(A,B)=√(4-23)²+(9+33)²)
=√((-19)²+(42)²)
=√(361+1764)
=√2125
=46.097β‰ˆ46.1

Answer: D) 46.10 units
