Find the distance points p (3,6) and q (7,3) to the nearest tenth?

=========================================================

One method is to plot the points P(3,6) and Q(7,3) on the same xy grid.  Plot a third point R at (3,3). See the diagram below.

A right triangle forms in which we can find the legs PR = 3 and RQ = 4. The hypotenuse is found through the pythagorean theorem.

a^2+b^2=c^2

3^2+4^2 = c^2

9+16 = c^2

c^2 = 25

c = sqrt(25)

c = 5

This is the length of PQ

-----------------------------------

Or you can use the distance formula which is effectively using the pythagorean theorem just in a slightly different format (though it may not be obvious).
