Question

Explain, via absolute value, how to calculate the distance between the coordinates (14, -39) and (14, -211) please answer quick!!!

Answer 1

the answer is 172. both x’s are the same. 14-14=0, there is no space between them. since you’re calculating absolute value, you do not take positives or negatives into consideration. 211-39=172. they are 172 (units) apart.

Answer 2

Just subtract like normal or count the distance between the coordinates.
