What is the distance between the points (7, 8) and (-8, 0) on a coordinate grid?


Sagot :

Answer:

17 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Going from one point to the other, the change in x is 15 and that in y is 8.  Therefore, applying the Pythagorean Theorem,

distance = √(225 + 64) = √289 = 17

The distance between the two points is 17 units.

Answer:

Solution :-

Distance = √(x2 - x1)² + √(y2 - y1)²

Distance = √(7 - (-8))² + √(8 - 0)²

Distance = √(7 + 8)² + √(8)²

Distance = √(15)² + √(8)²

Distance = √(225 + 64)

Distance = √(289)

Distance = 17 unit
