Calculate the distance between each given pair of points. Round your answer to the nearest tenth, if necessary.

(3, 1) and (6, 5)

Respuesta :

The answer is 5 

Here are the steps:

First off, we will be using the distance formula of 
[tex] d=\sqrt{(x_ {2}- x_{2}) ^{2}+( y_{2}- y_{1})^2 } [/tex]

So we have the ordered pairs of (3,1) and (6,5)

Once you plug them into the formula it should look like this: 
[tex]d= \sqrt{(6-3)^2+(5-1)^2} [/tex]

Now we do the math inside the parenthesis and end up with:
[tex] d=\sqrt{3^2+4^2} [/tex]

Then you multiply by the power and simplify to get:
[tex]d=\sqrt{25} [/tex]

And the [tex] \sqrt{25} [/tex]=5

So your answer is 5
