The distance between the coordinates in meters is 138.92m
Using the distance formula to calculate the distance between the coordinates as shown:
[tex]D = \sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2} \\[/tex]
Given the coordinate points C(-5, 8) and V (7, 1)
Substitute the given coordinates into the formula
[tex]D = \sqrt{(7+5)^2+(1-8)^2} \\D = \sqrt{(12)^2+(-7)^2} \\D = \sqrt{144+49} \\D = \sqrt{193} \\D=13.892 units[/tex]
Given that 1 unit = 10metres
D = 13.892 * 10
D = 138.92 meters
Hence the distance between the coordinates in meters is 138.92m
