Question

On a coordinate grid, point V is at (6, −8) and point S is at (6, 8). The distance (in units) between points V and S is ______. (Input only whole numbers, such as 2.)

Answer 1

(6,-8)(6,8)

d = sqrt ((x2 - x1)^2 + (y2 - y1)^2)
d = sqrt ((6 - 6)^2 + (8 - (-8)^2)
d = sqrt ((0^2 + 16^2)
d = sqrt 16^2
d = sqrt 256
d = 16 <==
