To find the distance between two points, we use the distance formula:
Distance = √((x2 - x1)^2 + (y2 - y1)^2)
In this case, (x1, y1) = (6, 2) and (x2, y2) = (4, 1). Plugging these values into the distance formula, we get:
Distance = √((4 - 6)^2 + (1 - 2)^2)
Distance = √((-2)^2 + (-1)^2)
Distance = √(4 + 1)
Distance = √5
Therefore, the distance between the points (6, 2) and (4, 1) is approximately 2.2 to the nearest tenth.
Use the distance formula to find the distance to the nearest tenth between the following points. ( 6, 2) and (4, 1).
