Question

Given A(2,14), B(2,3), C(4,2), and D(14,2) what is the distance of CD?

Answer 1

Answer: CD = 10

Explanation:

Subtract the smaller one from the larger one.

D(14, 2) - C(4, 2)

First, you subtract the x-values:

14 - 4 = 10

Then, you subtract your y-values:

2 - 2 = 0

Since the y-value is 0 (since it is a straight line), your distance of CD is 10.

Hope this helps!
