Question

PLEASE HELP ME. I REALLY NEED HELP

How can you determine the distance between the corners without measuring it?

Answer 1

The distance formula

Explanation:

This was kind of vague, but I'll try my best.

You can use the distance formula! It is basically the pythagorean theorem.

Here's the steps,

1. draw a right triangle from the corners. If you have graph paper, this should be relatively easy.

2. locate the hypotenuse, that is the distance.

3. next use the pythagorean theorem/ distance formula (same thing)

4. Except, instead of a and b and c, replace them with

(Change in x)²+(change in y)²= distance²

Now plug in the values

Now you're done!
