Your friend calculates the distance between points​ Q(1,5) and​ R(3,8), as shown below. What is his​ error?

The distance between two points is the number of units between them.

The distance between Q and R is 3.61 units

It is impossible to determine your friend's error, because the steps are not given in the question. So, I will calculate the distance between Q and R, instead.

The distance (d) between two points is:

[tex]d = \sqrt{(x_1 - x_2)^2 + (y_1 - y_2)^2}[/tex]

So, the distance QR is:

[tex]QR = \sqrt{(1 - 3)^2 + (5 - 8)^2}[/tex]

[tex]QR = \sqrt{(- 2)^2 + (- 3)^2}[/tex]

Evaluate exponents

[tex]QR = \sqrt{4 +9}[/tex]

[tex]QR = \sqrt{13}[/tex]

Take square root of 13

[tex]QR = 3.61[/tex]

Hence, the distance between Q and R is 3.61 units
