Question

Directions - Use the distance formula to find the distance between the two points (round to two decimal places, if needed):
(-2,8) and (4,0)
Distance Formula: √(x2-x1)^2(y2-y1)^1
Distance =

Answer 1

Distance = √(4-(-2))^2(0-8)^2
= √(4+2)^2(0-8)^2
= √(6)^2(-8)^2
= √36*64
= √2304
= 48.00 (rounded to two decimal places)

The distance between the points (-2,8) and (4,0) is 48.00.
