Answer:
The distance between the two points is 8 units
Step-by-step explanation:
In the given figure
∵ The coordinates of the 2 points are (4, 5) and (4, -3)
∴ x1 = 4 and y1 = 5
∴ x2 = 4 and y2 = -3
∵ Their x-coordinates are equal
→ That means the distance between them is vertical
∴ The length of the vertical distance between two points is
the difference between the y-coordinates of the points
∵ The distance between them = Iy2 - y1I
∵ y1 = 5 and y2 = -3
∴ The distance between them = I-3 - 5I
∴ The distance between them = I-8I
→ Remember absolute value gives always positive values
∴ The distance between them = 8 units
∴ The distance between the two points is 8 units
Answer:
I am not in college but I think the answer is either D or A
Step-by-step explanation:
In the smallest of the three triangles (with sides 
) we have
In the second-largest triangle (with sides 
), the length of the missing side is 
. Then in the largest triangle (with sides 
), we have
Equivalently, we have
In turn, we find
