Question

School A is located on a coordinate plane at (-2,14) school B is located at (8,14) how far apart are the schools?

Answer 1

The distance between schools A and B on the coordinate plane is 10 units.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the distance between two points on a coordinate plane, we can use the distance formula. The distance formula is:

d = sqrt((x2 - x1)^2 + (y2-y1)^2)

Let's apply the formula to the given points:

Point A: (-2, 14)

Point B: (8, 14)

d = sqrt((8 - (-2))^2 + (14-14)^2)

d = sqrt( (8+2)^2 + 0^2)

d = sqrt(10^2 + 0)

d = sqrt(100)

d = 10

So, the distance between schools A and B is 10 units.
