Question

James has mapped his seat and his teacher's seat on the coordinate plane at (0,10) and (–4,6). Find the distance between their seats. A. 4√ 17 units B. 16 units C. 4√ 2 units D. 4 units

Answer 1

Distance between their seats is 4√2 units.

Explanation:

We are given that James mapped his seat and teacher's seat at (0,10) and (-4,6) on the coordinate plane.

So, distance between their seats= distance between the points (0,10) and (-4,6)

=
`\sqrt{(-4-0)^(2)+(6-10)^(2)}`

=
`\sqrt{(-4)^(2)+(-4)^(2)}=√(16+16)`

`=√(32)=4√(2)units`
