Question

5 select the correct answer. what is the approximate distance between points d and e? round your answer to the nearest hundredth. a. 4 units b. 8 units c. 8.12 units d. 8.25 units

Explanation:

Step1: Identify coordinates

D(-4, -1), E(4, -3)

Step2: Apply distance formula

$d=\sqrt{(x_2 - x_1)^2+(y_2 - y_1)^2}=\sqrt{(4 - (-4))^2+((-3)-(-1))^2}=\sqrt{64 + 4}=\sqrt{68}\approx 8.25$

Answer:

D. 8.25 units
