Question

Find the distance between the points (4, –2) and (0, 10). A:8.94 B:14.95 C:12.65 D:8.5. thanks!

Answer 1

Answer:

C:12.65

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the distance formula:

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

x1 = 4, y1 = -2, x2 = 0, y2 = 10

$d = \sqrt{(0 - 4)^2 + (10 - (-2))^2}$

$d = \sqrt{(- 4)^2 + (12)^2}$

$d = \sqrt{16 + 144}$

$d = \sqrt{160}$

$d = 12.65$

Answer: C: 12.65
