FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What is the distance between the points (-1, -1) and (3, 3)?

Back

Distance = √((3 - (-1))² + (3 - (-1))²) = √(16 + 16) = √32 = 5.66

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

If a rectangular field has a width of 30 yards and a length of 40 yards, what is the distance across the field (diagonal)?

Back

Diagonal = √(30² + 40²) = √(900 + 1600) = √2500 = 50 yards

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What is the distance between the points (0, 0) and (5, 12)?

Back

Distance = √((5 - 0)² + (12 - 0)²) = √(25 + 144) = √169 = 13
