To find the distance between two points on a grid, we can use the distance formula:
Distance = √[(x2 - x1)^2 + (y2 - y1)^2]
In this case, Point A(2, 2) has coordinates (2, 2) and Point D(−4, −3) has coordinates (-4, -3).
Plugging the coordinates into the formula:
Distance = √[(-4 - 2)^2 + (-3 - 2)^2]
Distance = √[(-6)^2 + (-5)^2]
Distance = √[36 + 25]
Distance = √61
Therefore, the distance between Point A and Point D is closest to √61 or approximately 7.81 units.
Point A(2, 2) and point D(−4, −3) are located on the grid. Which measurement is closest to the distance between point A and point D in units?

Apologies for the error in my previous response. Let's correct that calculation.
Using the distance formula:
Distance = √[(x2 - x1)^2 + (y2 - y1)^2]
For Point A(2, 2) and Point D(-4, -3):
Distance = √[(-4 - 2)^2 + (-3 - 2)^2]
Distance = √[(-6)^2 + (-5)^2]
Distance = √[36 + 25]
Distance = √61
Therefore, the correct distance between Point A and Point D is √61 or approximately 7.81 units. Thank you for catching that mistake.
