Question

Find the distance between the points (26,38) and (26,
-
22).

Answer 1

d = 60

Explanation:

using the coordinates (26, 38) and (26,22) let's apply the formula:

d = √(x1 - y1)*2 + (x2 - y2)*2

d = √(26 - 26)*2 + (-22-38)*2

d = √(0)*2 + (-60)*2

d = √3600

d = 60

Answer 2

60 units

Explanation:

The formula of a distance between two points

`d=√((x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2)`

We have the points (26, 38) and (26, -22).

Substitute:

`d=√((-22-38)^2+(26-26)^2)=√((-60)^2+0^2)=√(60^2)=60`

Used
`√(a^2)=a` for
`a\geq0`
