Question

What is the distance from
What is the distance from (33, 5) to (33, -12)?

Answer 1

The distance from (33, 5) to (33, -12) is 17 units

Solution:

Given that we have to find distance from (33, 5) to (33, -12)

Distance between two points
`P(x_1, y_1) \text{ and } Q(x_2, y_2)` is given by:

`d=\sqrt{\left(x_(2)-x_(1)\right)^(2)+\left(y_(2)-y_(1)\right)^(2)}`

Here the distance between (33, 5) and (33, -12) is given as:

`(x_1 , y_1) = (33, 5)\\\\(x_2 , y_2) = (33, -12)`

Substituting the values in above formula,

`\begin{aligned}&d=\sqrt{(33-33)^(2)+(-12-5)^(2)}\\\\&d=\sqrt{0+(-17)^(2)}\\\\&d=√(289)\\\\&d=17\end{aligned}`

Thus the distance from (33, 5) to (33, -12) is 17 units
