Question

What is the distance between (- 58, 13) and (- 58, - 2)

Answer 1

Distance = 15

Explanation:

We can find the distance between two points using the distance formula, which is given by:

`d=\sqrt{(y_(2)-y_(1))^2+(x_(2)-x_(1))^2 }`, where:

• d is the distance,
• (x1, y1) is one point,
• and (x2, y2) is the other point,

Now, we can find the distance (d) between (-58, 13) and (-58, -2) by substituting (-58, 13) for (x1, y1) and (-58, -2) for (x2, y2) in the distance formula:

`d=√((-2-13)^2+(-58-(-58))^2)\\ \\d=√((-15)^2+(-58+58)^2\\)\\\\ d=√(225+0^2)\\ \\d=√(225)\\ \\d=15`

Therefore, the distance between (-58, 13) and (-58, -2) is 15 units.
