Answer:

The answer to your question is dAB = $\sqrt{8}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

A (-6, 4)

B (-8, 6)

Process

To solve this problem, just use the formula of the distance between to points, substitute the values, simplify and get the answer.

dAB = $\sqrt{(x2 - x1)^{2} + (y2 - y1)^{2}}$

x1 = -6 y1 = 4 x2 = -8 y2 = 6

-Substitution

dAB = $\sqrt{(-8 + 6)^{2} + (6 - 4)^{2}}$

-Simplification

dAB = $\sqrt{(-2)^{2} + (2)^{2}}$

dAB = $\sqrt{4 + 4}$

-Result

dAB = $\sqrt{8}$

You need to calculate 12% of 800.

To find a percent of a number, multiply the percent by the number.
Change the percent into a decimal by dividing the percent by 100 (move the decimal point of the percent two places to the left.)

12% of 800 =

= 12% * 800

= 0.12 * 800

= 96
