Point R is located at (1, 2) on a coordinate grid. Point S is located at (4, 5) on the same coordinate grid. What is the distance from point R to point S, rounded to the nearest tenth?

A. 3.2 units

B. 4.6 units

C. 7.6 units

D.

10.0 units

4.2 units

most likely answer choice B

Step-by-step explanation:

(1, 2) and (4, 5)

To find the distance between two points, we use the distance formula:

Let's plug in what we know.

Evaluate the parentheses.

Evaluate the exponents.

Add.

Evaluate the radical.

d = 4.24

Round to the nearest tenth.

d = 4.2 units

*note: The answer choice is 4.6. I'm not sure if that is a typo on someone's end, but the distance between these two points is exactly 4.24264068712 units.

Hope this helps!
