Question

Find the distance between the two points (8, 3), (0, -3)

Answer 1

It would be 14 points away from each other

Answer 2

The answer is 10 units

Explanation:

The distance between two points can be found by

`\sqrt{ ({x _(1) - x_(2) })^(2) + ({y_(1) } - y_(2) )^(2) }`

where

(x1 , y1) and (x2 , y2) are the points

The distance between (8, 3), (0, -3) is

`\sqrt{ ({8 - 0})^(2) + ({3 + 3})^(2) }`

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

`= √(64 + 36)`

`= √(100)`

We have the final answer as

10 units
