Question

Find the distance between the two points given (-2,6) and (-2,18)

Answer 1

Answer:

12

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the two points be represented by (x1,y1) and (x2,y2).

Distance between the two points is given by the formula:

$\[\sqrt{(x2-x1)^{2}+(y2-y1)^{2}}\]$ ----------------- (1)

In this case x1=-2,y1=6,x2=-2,y2=18.

Substituting the relevant values in the formula (1),

distance = $\[\sqrt{(-2-(-2))^{2}+(18-6)^{2}}\]$

= $\[\sqrt{0^{2}+12^{2}}\]$
