Question

What is the distance between 1,-4 and 1,18?

Answer 1

1-4 is 3 and 1-18 is 17

1 does not count because you start from it, not counting the gap that one takes up

Answer 2

(1, -4) and (1, 18)

Use the distance formula :)

D = √(x₂-x₁)² + (y₂-y₁)²

Simply plug in everything.

D =
`√((1 - 1)² + (18 + 4)²)`

Simplify.

D =
`√((0) + (22)^2 )`

Simplify.

D =
`√(484)`

So, the distance is 22

D = 22
