Answer:

the distance between the points (20, 7) and (20, -17) is 24 units

Explanation:

To find the distance between two points in a Cartesian coordinate system, we can use the distance formula. The distance between two points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) is given by:Distance = sqrt((x2 - x1)^2 + (y2 - y1)^2)In this case, the coordinates of the two points are (20, 7) and (20, -17). Let's calculate the distance:Distance = sqrt((20 - 20)^2 + (-17 - 7)^2)

= sqrt(0^2 + (-24)^2)

= sqrt(0 + 576)

= sqrt(576)

= 24
