What is the distance between (4.9, 2.9) and (-3.0, 4.9)?

The distance between two points is shown by the formula:

d = \sqrt{{(x_{2} - x_{1})}^{2} + {(y_{2} - y_{1})}^{2}}

We have the values for the two coordinates, so we can substitute them into the distance formula:

d = \sqrt{{(4.9 - 2.9)}^{2} + {(- 3.0 - 4.9)}^{2}}

And now we simplify:

d = \sqrt{{(2)}^{2} + {(- 7.9)}^{2}}

d = \sqrt{66.41}

If you want the exact distance, you can leave it as

\sqrt{66.41}

, but if you want it in decimal form, it is

\approx 8.15

(rounded to nearest hundblackth's place).
