Answer:
10.6 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
Shortest distance between P(3, -1) and Q(-5, 6) using [tex] PQ = \sqrt{(x_2 - x_1)^2 + (y_2 - y_1)^2} [/tex]
Plug in the values
[tex] PQ = \sqrt{(-5 - 3)^2 + (6 -(-1))^2} [/tex]
[tex] PQ = \sqrt{(-8)^2 + (7)^2} [/tex]
[tex] PQ = \sqrt{64 + 49} [/tex]
[tex] PQ = \sqrt{113} = 10.6 [/tex] (1 d.p)
