Question

2. Find the distance between the points (6,0) and (10,0).​

Answer 1

Answer:

One method is to directly plot them on graph. Since the points have same y coordinates the distance between them is just the difference in their x coordinates i.e 10-6 = 4.

Now, the other method is using distance formula.

Distance between (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) is given by: $\sqrt{(x1-x2)^2+(y1-y2)^2}$

So, on substituting coordinates as x1=10, x2=6, y1=0 and y2=0, we get,

√{(10-6)²+(0-0)² = √16 = 4.

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

(x1,y1)=(6,0)

(x2,y2)=(10,0)

d=√(x2-x1)^2 + (y2-y1)^2

d=√(10-6)^2 + (0-0)^2

d=√4^2

d=√16

Ans= 4
