Question

What's the distance between (0,2) and (0,8)?

Answer 1

6 units

Explanation:

The distance between two points can be calculated with the formula

`\boxed{\textcolor{steelblue}{\text{Distance between 2 points}= \sqrt{(y_1 - y_2)^(2) + (x_1 - x_2)^(2) } }}`

However, since (0, 2) and (0, 8) have the same x coordinate of 0, the distance between them is the difference in their y-coordinates.

Distance between (0, 2) and (0, 8)

= 8 -2

= 6 units
