Question

11. A rectangle is graphed on a coordinate plane. The coordinates for two of the

vertices of the rectangle are (-5,8) and (-5, -6). What is the distance between the
two vertices?
A
2 units
B
C
4 units
10 units
D 14 units

Answer 1

D. 14 units.
It’s the answer

Answer 2

D. 14 units

Explanation:

d =
`\sqrt{(x_(2)-x_(1))^(2)+(y_(2)-x_(1))^(2) }`

=
`\sqrt{(-5 - (-5))^(2) + (-6 - 8)^(2) }`

=
`\sqrt{0^(2) + -14^(2) }`

=
`√(0 +196 )`

=
`√(196)`

= 14
