Question

Can someone please help

Answer 1

7¼ units

Explanation:

Since the y-coordinate is the same, the two points lie on the same horizontal line

No vertical distance

Only horizontal distance of:

4¾ - (-2½)

4.75 + 2.5

7.25 units

Or

7¼ units

Answer 2

C

Explanation:

We need to use the distance formula, which says that for two points
`(x_1,y_1)` and
`(x_2,y_2)`, the distance between them is:

d =
`√((x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2)`

Here, the two points are (-2.5, 4.5) and (4.75, 4.5), so:

d =
`√((4.75-(-2.5))^2+(4.5-4.5)^2)=√((7.25)^2+(0)^2)=7.25` = 7 1/4

The answer is C.
