What is the distance between point A and point B? Round your answer to the nearest tenth.
A. 5
B 3.6
C. 6
D. 2.2

Answer:
(B) 3.6
Step-by-step explanation:
Coordinate of A = (-3, 9)
Coordinate of B = (-1, 6)
[tex]\text {Distance = }\sqrt{(- 3 - (-1) )^2 + (9 - 6)^2}[/tex]
[tex]\text {Distance = }\sqrt{(- 2 )^2 + (3)^2}[/tex]
[tex]\text {Distance = }\sqrt{13}[/tex]
[tex]\text {Distance = }3.6[/tex]
Answer:
B
Step-by-step explanation:
Calculate the distance using the distance formula
d = √ (x₂ - x₁ )² + (y₂ - y₁ )²
with (x₁, y₁ ) = A(- 3,9) and (x₂, y₂ ) = B(- 1, 6)
d = [tex]\sqrt{-1+3)^2+(6-9)^2}[/tex]
= [tex]\sqrt{2^2+(-3)^2}[/tex]
= [tex]\sqrt{4+9}[/tex]
= [tex]\sqrt{13}[/tex] ≈ 3.6 → B
