Question

Find the distance between the points (9,3) and (–5,3).

Answer 1

The answer to the question provided is 14.

Explanation:

》The Distance Formula:

`d = \sqrt{(x_2 - x_1)^(2) + (y_2 - y_1)^(2) }`

》Plug in.

`d = \sqrt{( - 5 - 9)^(2) + (3 - 3) ^(2) } \\ d = \sqrt{( - 14)^(2) + (0) ^(2) } \\ d = √(196 + 0) \\ d = √(196) \\ d = 14`
