Answer 1

To find the distance between the points A(2, 14) and B(10, 3), we can use the distance formula:

Distance = sqrt((x2 - x1)^2 + (y2 - y1)^2)

Plugging in the coordinates of the points, we get:

Distance = sqrt((10 - 2)^2 + (3 - 14)^2)
Distance = sqrt(8^2 + (-11)^2)
Distance = sqrt(64 + 121)
Distance = sqrt(185)

Rounded to the nearest tenth, the distance between the two points is approximately 13.6 units.
