Answer: 3.55 meter
Step-by-step explanation:
Distance between two points (a,b) and (c,d) is given by :-
[tex]d=\sqrt{(d-b)^2+(c-a)^2}[/tex]
Given : A certain corner of a room is selected as the origin (0,0) of a rectangular coordinate system.
A fly is crawling on an adjacent wall at a point having coordinates (3.3, 1.3).
Then, the distance between (0,0) and (3.3, 1.3) is given by :-
[tex]d=\sqrt{(1.3-0)^2+(3.3-0)^2}\\\\=\sqrt{1.69+10.89}\\\\=\sqrt{12.58}=3.54682957019\approx3.55\text{ meter}[/tex]
Hence, the  distance of the fly from the corner of the room =  3.55 meter
