Question

Find the distance between the points (10,0) and (4,8).

Answer 1

10

Explanation:

Calculate the distance d using the distance formula

d = √ (x₂ - x₁ )² + (y₂ - y₁ )²

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (10, 0) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (4, 8)

d =
`√((4-10)^2+(8-0)^2)`

=
`√((-6)^2+8^2)`

=
`√(36+64)` =
`√(100)` = 10
