Question

Find the distance between the points (0, 8) and (6, 0) on the coordinate grid.

Answer 1

A(x1, y1)
B(x2, y2)
AB = √(x2-x1)^2 + (y2-y1)^2
AB= √(6-0)^2+(8-0)^2
AB=√6^2+8^2
AB=√36+64
AB=√100
AB=10

SO the distance is 10

Answer 2

A(0, 8)
B(6, 0)
Using Distance Formula
AB = √{(X₂-X₁)² + (Y₂-Y₁)²}
AB= √{(6-0)²+(8-0)²}
AB=√(6²+8²)
AB=√(36+64)
AB=√100
AB= 10
