Question

Find the distance between the points ( – 14, – 8) and ( – 14, – 16).

Answer 1

Answer:

8units

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

A = (-14 , - 8)

B = (-14 , - 16)

To Find :-

Distance between the two points.

How To Do :-

We need to Find the distance between the points by substituting the co-ordinates of the points in the distance formula.

Formula Required :-

Distance Formula :-

$d=\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}$

Solution :-

A = (-14 , - 8)

Let,

x_1 = - 14 , y_1 = - 8

B = (-14 , - 16)

Let,

x_2 = - 14 , y_2 = - 16

Substituting in distance formula :-

$AB=\sqrt{(-14-(-14))^2+(-16-(-8))^2}$

$=\sqrt{(-14+14)^2+(-16+8)^2}$

$=\sqrt{(0)^2+(-8)^2}$

$=\sqrt{0+64}$

= √64

AB = 8 units

∴ Distance between the points = 8 units
