Question

Use the Distance Formula to find the distance between (5, - 4) and (0, 8).

Answer 1

Answer:

13 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Let d be the distance between given points.

$\therefore \: d = \sqrt{ {(5 - 0)}^{2} + ( - 4 - 8)^{2} } \\ \hspace{16 pt}= \sqrt{ {(5)}^{2} + ( - 12)^{2} } \\ \hspace{16 pt}= \sqrt{ 25 + 144 } \\ \hspace{16 pt}= \sqrt{ 169 } \\ \therefore \: d =13 \: units$
