Chapter 12.1, Problem 50STP

To determine

To find : Distance between A to B.

Answer to Problem 50STP

  $0.75$ units

Explanation of Solution

Given information :

The given points are A $(0.23,0.4)$ and B( $0.68,-0.2$ )

Formula Used:

Distance = d = $\sqrt{{(x_2-x_1)}^2+{(y_2-y_1)}^2}$ , where $(x_1,y_1)$ and $(x_2,y_2)$ are the points.

Calculation :

  $\begin{array}{l}d=\sqrt{{(0.68-0.23)}^2+{(-0.2-0.4)}^2}\\ =\sqrt{{(0.45)}^2+{(-0.6)}^2}\\ =\sqrt{0.5625}\\ =\text{0}\text{.75 units}\end{array}$
