Question

find the distance between the points (-3.7, -4.4) and (-3.7, -2.2).

Explanation:

Step1: Identify the formula

The distance formula between two points \((x_1,y_1)\) and \((x_2,y_2)\) is \(d=\sqrt{(x_2 - x_1)^2+(y_2 - y_1)^2}\). Here \(x_1=-3.7,y_1 = - 4.4,x_2=-3.7,y_2=-2.2\).

Step2: Substitute the values

Substitute the values into the formula:

$$
LATEXBLOCK0
$$

Step3: Simplify the expression

Since \((0)^2 = 0\) and \((2.2)^2=4.84\), then \(d=\sqrt{0 + 4.84}=\sqrt{4.84}\). And \(\sqrt{4.84}=2.2\)

Answer:

\(2.2\)
