Question

How much greater is the distance between buoys A and B than the distance between

buoys B and C?​

Answer 1

4

Explanation:

1. the distance between A and B can be calculated:

`|AB|=√((4+4)^2+(-4-2)^2) =10.`

2. the distance between B and C can be calculated:

`|BC|=√((-4+4)^2+(2+4)^2) =6.`

3. if AB=10, BC=6, then difference between them is 4.
