Question

What is the distance between points D(-10, 2)and E(6,10)​

Answer 1

The answer is 1/2 or 8/16 if it asks not to simplify

Answer 2

distance between them is

`8 √(5) \: units`

Explanation:

by distance formula ,

• DE =

`\sqrt{(6 - ( - 10)) {}^(2) + (10 - 2) {}^(2) }`

• DE =
• 
  `\sqrt{(16) {}^(2) + (8) {}^(2) }`
• DE =
• 
  `√(320)`
• DE =
• 
  `8 √(5)`
