Question

Use the pythagorean theorem to find the distance between the points (4,3) and (-4,-3)

Answer 1

Square root of 100= 10

Answer 2

Draw a right triangle (attachment below):

Length of the vertical line = 6 units

Length of horizontal line = 8 units

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

6^2 + 8^2 = 100

Square root of 100 = 10

The distance between the two points is 10 units.
