Question

What's the distance between points A and B​

Answer 1

5 units just count the squares from Point A to B

Answer 2

• AB = 10 units

============

Given

• Endpoints A(-8, -4) and B(2, - 4)

Find the length of AB

Since both points have same y-coordinate, the distance between the points is the difference of x-coordinates:

• AB = 2 - (-8) = 2 + 8 = 10 units
