Question

Find the distance between the points (-16,10) and (2,-14)

Answer 1

d=30

Explanation:

distance between 2 points: d

d=√(x2-x1)²+(y2-y1)² (-16,10) and (2,-14)

d=√(2-(-16)²+(-14-10)²

d=√18²+(-24)²

d=√324+576

d=√900

d=30

Answer 2

Answer: The distance is 30

Explanation:

To find the distance between the two points,find the difference between the x and y values, square them and add them to find their square root.

10 - (-14) = 24

-16 - 2= -18

24^2 + 18^2 = d^2 where d is the distance

576 + 324 = d^2

900 =d^2

d =
`√(900)`

d= 30
