Question

What is the distance between the polnts (3, 2) and (15, 16) on a coordinate plane?

Answer 1

C. 15 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 (3, 7) and (15, 16). Substitute:

`d=√((15-3)^2+(16-7)^2)=√(12^2+9^2)=√(144+81)=√(225)=15`
