Question

find the distance between the pair of points $(-4,-7)$ and $(2,-6)$. if necessary, express the answer in simplified radical form and then round to two decimal places. the distance between the given points is $sqrt{37}$ units. (simplify your answer. type an exact answer, using radicals as needed.) express the distance rounded to two decimal places if the exact simplified answer contains radicals. select the correct choice below and, if necessary, fill in the answer box to complete your choice a. the distance between the given points is approximately units. (type an integer or decimal rounded to two decimal places as needed.) b. the exact simplified form does not contain radicals.

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate the value of \(\sqrt{37}\)

We know that \(\sqrt{37}\approx6.08276\)

Step2: Round to two decimal places

Rounding \(6.08276\) to two decimal places, we look at the third decimal digit. The third decimal digit is \(2\) which is less than \(5\), so we keep the second decimal digit as it is.

Answer:

A. The distance between the given points is approximately \(6.08\) units.
