Question

What is the distance between points A and B on the coordinate plane?

a ) 12
b) 10
c) 14.5
d) 100

Answer 1

The distance between points A and B is 10

Answer 2

Explanation:

use pythagorean theorem a^2 + b^2 = c^2

a = 6, b = 8

6^2 + 8^2 = c^2

100 = c^2

c = -10

since it cant really be negative, the distance becomes 10.
