Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Draw a diagonal (line segment from one corner to the opposite corner). You'll form two right triangles with the diagonal being the hypotenuse of both triangles.
Use the Pythagorean Theorem: (leg)^2 + (leg)^2 = (hypotenuse)^2.
Let h represent the length of the hypotenuse.
The question is just a bit vague. It should say opposite corners. I'm assuming the question does not mean the length of one side!
Option: A is the correct answer.
A. negative 5 over 8 minus negative 2 over 8 = negative 3 over 8; therefore, the distance from A to B is absolute value of negative 3 over 8 equals 3 over 8 units.
<h2>Step-by-step explanation:</h2>The location of Point A is : A(-5/8)
and Point B is located at : B(-2/8)
We know that when two points lie over a number line then the distance between the two points is the absolute difference between the two points.
If A is located at a.
and B is located at b.
Then the distance between A and B is given by:
|a-b|
Hence, here the distance between A and B is given by:
