Question

hat is the rectilinear distance between​ (−3, −6) and​ (14, −2)? A. 3 B. 21 C. 25 D. 18.79 E. 7 F. 15

Answer 1

F. 15

Explanation:

To obtain the rectilinear distance between :

(3, 6) and (14, 2)

x1 = 3 ; x2 = 14 ; y1 = 6 ; y2 = 2

(3, 6), (14, 2)

USing the Rectilinear distance formula :

|X2 - x1 | + |y2 - y1 |

| 14 - 3 | + |2 - 6 |

|11 | + |- 4 |

11 + 4

= 15
