Question

Whats is the distance between the ferris wheel and the merry-go-round? Ferris wheel on the coordinate plane is (-9,6) and the location of the merry-go-round is (10,6)

Answer 1

19 units

Explanation:

use distance formula: d =
`\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^(2)+(y_2+y_1)^(2)}`

x₂ = 10

x₁ = -1

y₂ = 6

y₁ = 6

now plug in

`\sqrt{(10-(-9))^(2)+(6-6)^(2)}\\= \sqrt{19^(2)+0^(2)\\}\\= √(361)\\= 19`
