Question

HDW calculate distance on the coordinate grid?

Answer 1

Answer:

CD = 10 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Coordinates of the given points are A(2, 14), B(2, 3), C(4, 2) and D(14, 2).

Distance between the two points $(x_1,y_1)$ and $(x_2,y_2)$ is given by the formula,

d = $\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}$

Distance between the two points C(4, 2) and D(14, 2) will be,

CD = $\sqrt{(14-4)^2+(2-2)^2}$

     = $\sqrt{(10)^2}$

     = 10 units

Therefore, distance between C and D is 10 units.
