Questions: Find the distance between the points (-9.2,-12.2) and (17,-12.2). units

Solution Steps

We are given two points: \((-9.2, -12.2)\) and \((17, -12.2)\).

The distance \(d\) between two points \((x_1, y_1)\) and \((x_2, y_2)\) is given by the formula:

\[ d = \sqrt{(x_2 - x_1)^2 + (y_2 - y_1)^2} \]

Substitute the given coordinates into the distance formula:

\[ d = \sqrt{(17 - (-9.2))^2 + (-12.2 - (-12.2))^2} \]

Calculate the differences:

\[ d = \sqrt{(17 + 9.2)^2 + (0)^2} \]

\[ d = \sqrt{26.2^2} \]

Calculate the square:

\[ d = \sqrt{686.44} \]

Calculate the square root:

\[ d = 26.2 \]
