Question

The distance between the points (3,-6) and (3,4)

Answer 1

10 units

Explanation:

calculate the distance d using the distance formula

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

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (3, - 6 ) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (3, 4 )

d =
`√((3-3)^2+(4-(-6))^2)`

=
`√(0^2+(4+6)^2)`

=
`√(0+10^2)`

=
`√(0+100)`

=
`√(100)`

= 10
