Question

BC =using the Distance Formula

A. 5


B. 7


C. 11


Don’t choose randomly or write “just doing this for points” cause its annoying and I’m having an exam.

Answer 1

Answer: Option A: 5

Explanation:

If yo have the pairs (a, b) and (c, d)

The distance between these two points is:

distance = √( (a - c)^2 + (b - d)^2)

Here we want to find the distance between points B and C.

We can see that the coordinates of each one are:

point B: (-5, 5)

Point C: (-1, 2)

Then the distance between these points is:

AB = √( (-5 -(-1))^2 + (5 -2)^2) = 5

AB = √( 4^2 + 3^2)

Then the correct option is A
