Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The distance formula is:

d = sqrt((x2-x1)^2 + (y2-y1)^2)

Plugging in the values, we get:

d = sqrt(((-3.3)-(5))^2 + ((8.7)-(-4.1))^2)
d = sqrt((-8.3)^2 + (12.8)^2)
d = sqrt(68.89 + 163.84)
d = sqrt(232.73)

Rounding to two decimal places, we get:

d ≈ 18.10

Therefore, the best answer choice is E: 18.10.
