Answer:
6.3 units
Explanations
The formula for calculating the distance between two points is given as:
[tex]D=\sqrt[]{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}[/tex]
Given the following coordinate points
A(2,4) and B(8,2)
Substitute the given parameters into the formula to have:
[tex]\begin{gathered} D=\sqrt[]{(8-2)^2+(2-4)^2} \\ D=\sqrt[]{6^2+(-2_{})^2} \\ D=\sqrt[]{36+4} \\ D=\sqrt[]{40} \\ D\approx6.3\text{units} \end{gathered}[/tex]
Hence the distance between the points (2,4) and (8,2) round to the nearest tenth is 6.3 units
