Question

The distance between R and S on the coordinate grid is ___ units. (Input whole numbers only.)

Image of a coordinate grid with point R located at negative 25, 5 and point S located at 20, 5.

Answer 1

Flvs right?

I just recently took this test and the answer is 45.

Exam: 04.04 Applications with Coordinates right?

Answer 2

RS = 45

Step by step explanation

Here we are given two point R and S.

The coordinates of R = (-25, 5) and S = (20, 5)

We have to find the distance between the two points.

Distance formula =
`√((x2 - x1)^2 + (y2 -y1)^2)`

=
`√((20 - (-25))^2  + (5 - 5)^2)`

= √(20 + 25)^2 + 0

= √(45)^2

RS = 45

The distance between the points R and S is 45.

Thank you.
