Question

Find the distance between the points (7,8) and (7, – 20).

Answer 1

Answer:

Step by-step explanation:

use $a^{2}$+$b^{2}$=$c^{2}$

for a we will use the difference in x values. the distance between 7 and 7 is 0

for B we use the distance between y values. the distance between 8 and -20 is 28.

$0^{2}$+$28^{2}$=$c^{2}$

$28^{2}$=$c^{2}$

784=$c^{2}$

the square roof of 784=28 so the answer is 28
