Answer:
8.5
Step-by-step explanation:
The distance between Brookline(8, 2) and Davenport(5, 10) can be calculated using the distance formula given as [tex] d = \sqrt{(x_2 - x_1)^2 + (y_2 - y1)^2} [/tex].
Let,
[tex] Brookline(8, 2) = (x_1, y_1) [/tex]
[tex] Davenport(5, 10) = (x_2, y_2) [/tex]
[tex] d = \sqrt{(5 - 8)^2 + (10 - 2)^2} [/tex]
[tex] d = \sqrt{(-3)^2 + (8)^2} [/tex]
[tex] d = \sqrt{9 + 64} = \sqrt{73} [/tex]
[tex] d = 8.5 [/tex] (nearest tenth)
