Solve sqrt{(5.1-5.1)^2+(3.5-3.8)^2}

$$\sqrt { ( 5.1 - 5.1 ) ^ { 2 } + ( 3.5 - 3.8 ) ^ { 2 } }$$

Evaluate

$$0.3$$

Solution Steps

Subtract 5.1 from 5.1 to get 0.

$$\sqrt{0^{2}+\left(3.5-3.8\right)^{2}}$$

Calculate 0 to the power of 2 and get 0.

$$\sqrt{0+\left(3.5-3.8\right)^{2}}$$

Subtract 3.8 from 3.5 to get -0.3.

$$\sqrt{0+\left(-0.3\right)^{2}}$$

Calculate -0.3 to the power of 2 and get 0.09.

$$\sqrt{0+0.09}$$

Add 0 and 0.09 to get 0.09.

$$\sqrt{0.09}$$

Calculate the square root of 0.09 and get 0.3.

$$0.3$$

Factor

$$\frac{3}{2 \cdot 5} = 0.3$$
