Question

Find the distance between the points (10,0) and (4,8).

Answer 1

Answer:

10

Step-by-step explanation:

Calculate the distance d using the distance formula

d = √ (x₂ - x₁ )² + (y₂ - y₁ )²

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (10, 0) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (4, 8)

d = $\sqrt{(4-10)^2+(8-0)^2}$

  = $\sqrt{(-6)^2+8^2}$

  = $\sqrt{36+64}$ = $\sqrt{100}$ = 10
