Question

Point SSS is located at (9,-3)(9,−3)left parenthesis, 9, comma, minus, 3, right parenthesis. Point TTT is located at (4,-3)(4,−3)left parenthesis, 4, comma, minus, 3, right parenthesis.

What is the distance from point SSS to point TTT?

Answer 1

Correct question:

Point S is located at (9,-3). Point T is located at (4,-3). What is the distance from point S to point T?

Answer: Distance(S, T) = 5

Explanation:

Given the following:

Location of point S, (9, -3)

Location of point T, (4, -3)

Using the formulas

Distance(S, T) = √[(S1 - T1)^2 + (S2 - T2)^2 + (Sn - Tn)^2]

Distance(S, T) = √[(9 - 4)^2 + (-3 - (-3))^2]

Distance(S, T) = √(5^2 + 0)

Distance(S, T) = √(25)

Distance(S, T) = 5
