Question

How do you find the distance between the two points (5, 8) and (11, 0) on the coordinate plane?

Answer 1

10 units

Explanation:

The distance between two points on the coordinate plane is expressed:

`d=sqrt((x2-x1)^2+(y2-y1)^2)`

Now compute d:

`d=sqrt((11-5)^2+(0-8)^2)`
`d=sqrt((6^2)+(-8)^2)`
`d=sqrt(100)`
`d=10` units.
