Question

Find the distance between these points.

W(-6, -8), X(6, 8)
20
10
square root of 8

Answer 1

d=V {8-(-8)}^2+ {6-(-6)}^2= V256+144= V400=20


the answer is 20

Answer 2

The distance between the points is 20.

Explanation:

This could be calculated using the next equation:

`Distance=\sqrt{(x2-x1)^(2) +(y2-y1)^(2) }`

Using this equation with the given points:

`W(x1=-6,y1=-8)` and
`X(x2=6,y2=8)`

`Distance=\sqrt{(6-(-6))^(2) +(8-(-8))^(2) }`

`Distance=\sqrt{(12)^(2) +(16)^(2) }`

`Distance=√(144 + 256 )`

`Distance=√(400 )`

`Distance=20`

The distance between the points is 20.
