Question

PLEASE HELP FAST! On a coordinate grid, point L is at (−4, 4) and point S is at (8, 4). The distance (in units) between points L and S is ______. Input only whole numbers, such as 2.

Answer 1

Distance between 2 points L(x₁ ,y₁) and S(x₂ , y₂) is calculated as per the formula here-after:

LS =√[(x₂-x₁)² + (y₂-y₂)²]

L(-4 , 4) and S(8 , 4) , then:


LS =√[(8+4)² + (4-4)²] =√(12² - 0) = 12 units
