Question

Determine the distance between the two points using the Pythagorean theorem.

Answer 1

Answer:

d = 10

Step-by-step explanation:

Ok, so we know that the horizontal distance between the points is 6 and the vertical distance is 8.  Using the Pythagorean theorem we know that 8^2+6^2=d^2 (d is the distance between points). When solving we get

8^2+6^2=d^2

64+36=d^2

100=d^2

d=10
